Joycelyn Collins, Underwriting Branch
Program Analyst, Federal Insurance
Directorate, 202–701–3383. You may
contact the Information Management
Division for copies of the proposed
collection of information at email
address: FEMA-Information-CollectionsManagement@fema.dhs.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP) is authorized by the National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968 (90–448,
title XIII) and expanded by the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (93–234)
and requires that FEMA provide flood
insurance. FEMA delineates flood zones
on a Flood Insurance Rate Map to
identify Special Flood Hazard Areas
(SFHAs) in a community. 44 CFR
60.3(c)(2) requires that all new
construction and substantial
improvements of residential structures
within SFHA Zones A1–30, AE, AH,
and AO zones have the lowest floor,
including the basement, elevated to or
above the base flood level unless a
community-wide exception or sitespecific variance is granted. 44 CFR
60.6(a)(7) and 44 CFR 60.6(b)(1) allow
communities to apply for an exception
when circumstances present a hardship
that would not allow for adherence to
the requirement for elevation above the
base flood level. This exception must
meet the conditions set forth in 44 CFR
60.6(c). When owners of residential
structures in these zones are seeking
flood insurance, they must be certified
that the structural design is floodproof.

Floodproofing Certification.

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
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://
Community

download 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

community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center

AGENCY:
HUD’s regulations provide for
HUD to periodically publish in the
Federal Register a notice that lists
sources of income specifically excluded
by any Federal statute from
consideration as income for purposes of
determining eligibility or benefits in a
HUD program. HUD last published a
notice that listed federally mandated
exclusions from consideration of
income on May 20, 2014. This notice
replaces the previously published
version, adds new exclusions, and
removes exclusions that are now
codified in HUD regulations.
