Federal Emergency Management Agency January 5, 2009 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This is a notice of the Presidential declaration of an emergency for the State of Maine (FEMA-3298-EM), dated December 15, 2008, and related determinations.

This is a notice of the Presidential declaration of a major disaster for the State of South Dakota (FEMA-1811-DR), dated December 12, 2008, and related determinations.

On February 22, 2008, FEMA published in the Federal Register a proposed rule that contained an erroneous table. This notice provides corrections to that table, to be used in lieu of the information published at FR Doc. E8-3362. The table provided here represents the flooding source, location of referenced elevation, effective and modified elevation, and communities affected for Trinity County, California. Specifically, it addresses Hayfork Creek.

This document corrects the table to a proposed rule published in the Federal Register of December 9, 2008. This correction clarifies the table representing the flooding source(s), location of referenced elevation, the effective and modified elevation in feet and the communities affected for Madison County, Mississippi, and Incorporated Areas; specifically, for flooding source ``Reunion Lake 1,'' than was previously published.

Comments are requested on the proposed Base (1 percent annual- chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) and proposed BFE modifications for the communities listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to seek general information and comment regarding the proposed regulatory flood elevations for the reach described by the downstream and upstream locations in the table below. The BFEs and modified BFEs are a part of the floodplain management measures that the community is required either to adopt or show evidence of having in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, these elevations, once finalized, will be used by insurance agents, and others to calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and the contents in those buildings.
