ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
Comments are requested on
proposed flood hazard determinations,
which may include additions or
modifications of any Base Flood
Elevation (BFE), base flood depth,
Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA)
boundary or zone designation, or
regulatory floodway on the Flood
Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and
where applicable, in the supporting
Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for
the communities listed in the table
below. The purpose of this notice is to
seek general information and comment
regarding the preliminary FIRM, and
where applicable, the FIS report that the
Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) has provided to the affected
communities. The FIRM and FIS report

or to show evidence of having in effect
in order to qualify or remain qualified
for participation in the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP).
DATES: Comments are to be submitted
on or before May 15, 2024.

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 Map Repository address
listed in the tables. For communities
with multiple ongoing Preliminary
studies, the studies can be identified by

The
information collection activity provides
a means to garner qualitative customer
and stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with the
Administration’s commitment to
improving service delivery. CISA is
planning to submit this collection to
OMB for approval. By qualitative
feedback we mean information that
provides useful insights on perceptions
and opinions but are not statistical
surveys that yield quantitative results
that can be generalized to the
population of study.
This feedback will provide insights
into customer or stakeholder
perceptions, experiences, and
expectations, provide an early warning
of issues with service, or focus attention
on areas where communication, training
or changes in operations might improve
delivery of products or services.
These collections will allow for
ongoing, collaborative, and actionable
communications between CISA and its
customers and stakeholders. It will also
allow feedback to contribute directly to
the improvement of program
management.
The solicitation of feedback will target
areas such as: Timeliness,
appropriateness, accuracy of
information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of
issues with service delivery. Responses
will be assessed to plan and inform
efforts to improve or maintain the
quality of service offered to the public.
If this information is not collected,
vital feedback from customers and
stakeholders on CISA’s services will be
unavailable. CISA will only submit a
collection for approval under this
generic clearance if it meets the
following conditions:
1. The collections are voluntary;
2. The collections are low-burden for
respondents (based on considerations of
total burden hours, total number of
respondents, or burden-hours per
respondent) and are low-cost for both

the respondents and the Federal
Government;
3. The collections are
noncontroversial and do not raise issues
of concern to other Federal agencies;
4. Any collection is targeted to the
solicitation of opinions from
respondents who have experience with
the program or may have experience
with the program in the near future;
5. Personally identifiable information
is collected only to the extent necessary
and is not retained;
6. Information gathered is intended to
be used only internally for general
service improvement and program
management purposes and is not
intended for release outside of the CISA
(if released, CISA must indicate the
qualitative nature of the information);
7. Information gathered will not be
used for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;
and
8. Information gathered will yield
qualitative information; the collections
will not be designed or expected to
yield statistically reliable results or used
as though the results are generalizable to
the population of study.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance will provide useful
information, but it will not yield data
that can be generalized to the overall
population. This type of generic
clearance for qualitative information
will not be used for quantitative
information collections that are
designed to yield reliably actionable
results, such as monitoring trends over
time or documenting program
performance. Such data uses require
more rigorous designs that address: The
target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential
nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
