In order to fulfill its mission, the
Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) Individual and Community
Preparedness Division (ICPD) require
Citizen Corps Councils and Community
Emergency Response Team Programs to
submit profiles electronically through

officials in their area, ensure a dedicated
coordinator is assigned to the Council,
and will provide an efficient way to
track the effectiveness of the nationwide
network of Councils and CERTs. This
continuing registration process will
allow the Individual and Community
Preparedness Division to collect
information that is more usable and
provide a more efficient way to track the
effectiveness of the nationwide network
of Councils and CERT’s.

ACTION:

Notice.

This notice lists communities
where the addition or modification of
Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood
depths, Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA) boundaries or zone
designations, or the regulatory floodway
(hereinafter referred to as flood hazard
determinations), as shown on the Flood
Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and
where applicable, in the supporting
Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports,
prepared by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) for each
community, is appropriate because of
new scientific or technical data. The
FIRM, and where applicable, portions of
the FIS report, have been revised to
reflect these flood hazard
determinations through issuance of a
Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in
accordance with Title 44, Part 65 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (44 CFR
part 65). The LOMR will be used by
insurance agents and others to calculate
appropriate flood insurance premium
rates for new buildings and the contents
of those buildings. For rating purposes,
the currently effective community
number is shown in the table below and
must be used for all new policies and
renewals.

SUMMARY:

These flood hazard
determinations will become effective on
the dates listed in the table below and
revise the FIRM panels and FIS report
in effect prior to this determination for
the listed communities.
From the date of the second
publication of notification of these
changes in a newspaper of local
circulation, any person has ninety (90)
days in which to request through the
community that the Deputy Associate
Administrator for Mitigation reconsider
the changes. The flood hazard
determination information may be
changed during the 90-day period.
ADDRESSES: The affected communities
are listed in the table below. Revised
flood hazard information for each
community is available for inspection at
both the online location and the
respective community map repository
address listed in the table below.

Submit comments and/or appeals to
the Chief Executive Officer of the
community as listed in the table below.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis
Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering
Management Branch, Federal Insurance
and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,

[email protected]; or visit
the FEMA Map Information eXchange
(FMIX) online at

The
specific flood hazard determinations are
not described for each community in
this notice. However, the online
location and local community map
repository address where the flood
hazard determination information is
available for inspection is provided.
Any request for reconsideration of
flood hazard determinations must be
submitted to the Chief Executive Officer
of the community as listed in the table
below.
The modifications are made pursuant
to section 201 of the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105,
and are in accordance with the National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C.
4001 et seq., and with 44 CFR part 65.
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).
These 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
