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
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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
Community
74229
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.

Australia—Tomahawk Weapon System
The Government of Australia has
requested to buy up to two hundred
(200) Tomahawk Block V All Up
Rounds (AUR) (RGM–109E); and up to
twenty (20) Tomahawk Block IV All Up
Rounds (AUR) (RGM–109E). Also
included is support for all three
segments of Australia’s Tomahawk
Weapon System (TWS) to include the
All-Up Round (AUR), the Tactical
Tomahawk Weapon Control System
(TTWCS) and the Theater Mission
Planning Center (TMPC). The support

consists of unscheduled missile
maintenance; spares; procurement;
training; in-service support; software;
hardware; communication equipment;
operational flight test; engineering and
technical expertise to maintain the TWS
capability; and other related elements of
logistical and program support. The
estimated total cost is $895 million.
This proposed sale will support the
foreign policy and national security
objectives of the United States. Australia
is one of our most important allies in
the Western Pacific. The strategic
location of this political and economic
power contributes significantly to
ensuring peace and economic stability
in the region. It is vital to the U.S.
national interest to assist our ally in
developing and maintaining a strong
and ready self-defense capability.
The proposed sale will improve
Australia’s capability to interoperate
with U.S. maritime forces and other
allied forces as well as its ability to
contribute to missions of mutual
interest. By deploying the Tomahawk
Weapon System, Australia will
contribute to global readiness and
enhance the capability of U.S. Forces
operating alongside them globally.
Australia will use the enhanced
capability as a deterrent to regional
threats and to strengthen its homeland
defense. Australia will have no
difficulty absorbing this equipment into
its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment
and support will not alter the basic
military balance in the region.
The prime U.S. contractor will be
Raytheon Missiles and Defense, Tucson,
AZ. There are no known offset
agreements proposed in connection
with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will require multiple trips by U.S.
Government representatives and
contractor personnel to visit Australia
on a temporary basis over the life of the
case to support delivery and integration
of items and to provide supply support
management, inventory control, and
equipment familiarization. Visits will
also include program and technical
reviews.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.

Notice of Proposed Issuance of Letter of
Offer Pursuant to Section 36(b)(1) of the
Arms Export Control Act
1. The Block IV/V All Up Round
(AUR) consists of the RGM–109E
Tomahawk cruise missile assembled in
a canister for surface launch. Tomahawk
Block IV/V capabilities include,
increased system flexibility, improved
system response times, improved
lethality against an increased target set,
improved accuracy, improved Anti-Jam
GPS Receiver (AGR) with Selective
Availability Anti-Spoofing Module
(SAASM) capability, enhanced
availability due to a 15-year
maintenance interval and two-way
communications between missile and
Strike/Missile Controllers via Ultra High
Frequency (UHF) Satellite
Communications (SATCOM). The twoway communication capability,
provided by the Satellite Data Link
Terminal (SDLT) enables Mission
Planners and the Strike/Missile
Controller to issue in-flight missile
retargeting commands, receive in-flight
missile Health & Status (H&S)
transmissions, obtain Battle Damage
Indication (BDI) data and obtain singleframe Battle Damage Indication Imagery
(BDII) using the onboard camera that is
part of the Digital Scene Matching Area
Correlator (DSMAC) Sensor Assembly
(DSA).
2. The highest level of classification of
defense articles, components, and
services included in this potential sale
is SECRET.
3. If a technologically advanced
adversary were to obtain knowledge of
the specific hardware and software
elements, the information could be used
to develop countermeasures that might
reduce weapon system effectiveness or
be used in the development of a system
with similar or advanced capabilities.
4. A determination has been made
that Australia can provide substantially
the same degree of protection for the
sensitive technology being released as
the U.S. Government. This sale is
necessary in furtherance of the U.S.
foreign policy and national security
objectives outlined in the Policy
Justification.
5. All defense articles and services
listed in this transmittal have been
authorized for release and export to
Australia.
