Federal Emergency Management Agency August 15, 2011 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This interim rule lists communities where modification of the Base (1% annual-chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) is appropriate because of new scientific or technical data. New flood insurance premium rates will be calculated from the modified BFEs for new buildings and their contents.

On June 20, 2008, FEMA published in the Federal Register a proposed rule that contained an erroneous table. FEMA published corrections to that table on September 9, 2008, and on May 12, 2009. This notice provides corrections to that table, to be used in lieu of the information published at 73 FR 35112, at 73 FR 52234, and at 74 FR 22151. The table provided here represents the flooding sources, location of referenced elevations, effective and modified elevations, and communities affected for Plymouth County, Massachusetts (All Jurisdictions). Specifically, it addresses the following flooding sources: Aassawompsett Pond, Accord Brook, Atlantic Ocean, Bear Swamp, Doggett Brook, Fall Brook, French Stream, Great Quittacas Pond, Hathaway Pond, Hockomock River, Matfield River, Meadow Brook, Oldham Pond, Rocky Meadow Brook, Salisbury Plain River, Satucket River, Shumatuscacant River, Stream River, Third Herring Brook, Town River, Tributary A, Tributary to Meadow Brook, and Weweantic River.
