This is a notice of the Presidential declaration of a major disaster for the State of Maryland (FEMA-4075-DR), dated August 2, 2012, and related determinations.

On August 25, 2011, FEMA published in the Federal Register a proposed rule that contained an erroneous table. On October 4, 2011, a correction to that original notice was published in the Federal Register. This notice provides corrections to that initial table and the correction notice, to be used in lieu of the information published at 76 FR 53082 and at 76 FR 61295. The table provided here represents the flooding sources, location of referenced elevations, effective and modified elevations, and communities affected for Smith County, Texas, and Incorporated Areas. Specifically, it addresses the flooding sources: Black Fork Creek, Black Fork Creek Tributary BF-1, Black Fork Creek Tributary BF-M-1, Black Fork Creek Tributary D, Black Fork Creek Tributary D-1, Black Fork Creek Tributary D-2, Black Fork Creek Tributary D-3, Butler Creek, Gilley Creek, Gilley Creek Tributary G-1, Harris Creek, Henshaw Creek, Indian Creek, Ray Creek, Shackleford Creek, West Mud Creek, West Mud Creek Tributary 11, West Mud Creek Tributary B, West Mud Creek Tributary M-1, West Mud Creek Tributary M- 2, West Mud Creek Tributary M-A, West Mud Creek Tributary M-A.1, West Mud Creek Tributary M-A.2, West Mud Creek Tributary M-C, West Mud Creek Tributary M-C.1, West Mud Creek Tributary M-C.2, Wiggins Creek, and Willow Creek.

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 are the basis of the floodplain management measures that the community is required either to adopt or to show evidence of having in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, the FIRM and FIS report, once effective, will be used by insurance agents and others to calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and the contents of those buildings.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is issuing this notice to advise the public that FEMA is reopening the comment period for Docket ID FEMA-2012-0012. The initial Notice of Intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement published in the May 16, 2012 Federal Register, and requested public comments no later than July 16, 2012. FEMA has reopened the comment period for submitting public comments to October 9, 2012. All substantive comments on the Notice of Intent received during the public comment period will become part of the scoping record.
