FEMA
proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community
listed below, in accordance with section
110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act
of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR
67.4(a).
These proposed flood hazard
determinations, together with the
floodplain management criteria required
by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that
are required. They should not be
construed to mean that the community
must change any existing ordinances
that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements.
The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or
pursuant to policies established by other
Federal, State, or regional entities.
These flood hazard determinations are
used to meet the floodplain
management requirements of the NFIP.
The communities affected by the
flood hazard determinations are
provided in the tables below. Any
request for reconsideration of the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

revised flood hazard information shown
on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS report
that satisfies the data requirements
outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b) is considered
an appeal. Comments unrelated to the
flood hazard determinations also will be
considered before the FIRM and FIS
report become effective.
Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel
(SRP) is available to communities in
support of the appeal resolution
process. SRPs are independent panels of
experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and
other pertinent sciences established to
review conflicting scientific and
technical data and provide
recommendations for resolution. Use of
the SRP only may be exercised after
FEMA and local communities have been
engaged in a collaborative consultation
process for at least 60 days without a
mutually acceptable resolution of an
appeal. Additional information
regarding the SRP process can be found
online at https://www.floodsrp.org/pdfs/
srp_overview.pdf.
The watersheds and/or communities
affected are listed in the tables below.
The Preliminary FIRM, and where
applicable, FIS report for each
community are available for inspection
at both the online location https://
hazards.fema.gov/femaportal/
prelimdownload and the respective
Community Map Repository address
listed in the tables. For communities
with multiple ongoing Preliminary
studies, the studies can be identified by
the unique project number and
Preliminary FIRM date listed in the
tables. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each
community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center
at https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.

Background
Generally, USCIS may approve H–2A
and H–2B petitions for nationals of only
those countries that the Secretary of
Homeland Security, with the
concurrence of the Secretary of State,
has designated as participating
countries.1 Such designation must be
published as a notice in the Federal
Register and expires after one year. In
1 With respect to all references to ‘‘country’’ or
‘‘countries’’ in this document, it should be noted
that the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979, Public Law
96–8, Section 4(b)(1), provides that ‘‘[w]henever the
laws of the United States refer or relate to foreign
countries, nations, states, governments, or similar
entities, such terms shall include and such laws
shall apply with respect to Taiwan.’’ 22 U.S.C.
3303(b)(1). Accordingly, all references to ‘‘country’’
or ‘‘countries’’ in the regulations governing whether
nationals of a country are eligible for H–2 program
participation, 8 CFR 214.2(h)(5)(i)(F)(1)(i) and 8
CFR 214.2(h)(6)(i)(E)(1), are read to include Taiwan.
This is consistent with the United States’ one-China
policy, under which the United States has
maintained unofficial relations with Taiwan since
1979.
