SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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
Community
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.

The NIAC
is established under Section 10 of E.O.
13231 issued on October 16, 2001, as
amended and continued under the
authority of E.O. 14109, dated
September 29, 2023. Notice of this
meeting is given under the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5
U.S.C. Ch. 10 (Pub. L. 117–286). The
NIAC provides the President, through
the Secretary of Homeland Security,
advice on the security and resilience of
the Nation’s critical infrastructure
sectors.
The meeting date is being changed
from Tuesday, December 12, 2023 to
Wednesday, December 13, 2023. This
meeting will now be partially closed to
the public, with the closure time of the
meeting yet to be determined. Members
of the public who register to participate
virtually will be informed what portion
of the meeting will be closed.
Agenda: The National Infrastructure
Advisory Council will meet in an open
session on Wednesday, December 13,
2023, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. EST to
discuss NIAC activities. The open
session will include: (1) a period for
public comment; (2) read-on,
deliberation and vote on the NIAC’s
Managing the Infrastructure Challenges
of Increasing Electrification report; and
(3) additional study topics discussion.
The council will meet in a closed
session, with the closure time of the
meeting yet to be determined. During
the closed session, senior White House
officials will discuss priorities and
potential threats concerning the nation’s
critical infrastructure.
Basis for Closure: In accordance with
section 10(d) of FACA and 5 U.S.C.
552b(c)(1), The Government in the
Sunshine Act, it has been determined
that a portion of the agenda requires
closure, as the disclosure of the
information that will be discussed
would not be in the public interest.
Public disclosure of these threats, as
well as vulnerabilities and mitigations,
is a risk to the Nation’s infrastructure
security posture as adversaries could
use this information to do harm.
