AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, DHS. 

ACTION: Proposed rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: On December 28, 2007, FEMA

FR 73732. The table provided here 

represents the flooding sources, location 

of referenced elevations, effective and 

modified elevations, and communities 

affected for Racine County, Wisconsin, 

and Incorporated Areas. Specifically, it 

addresses the following flooding 

sources: Bartlett Branch, Chicory Creek, 

East/West Canal, Fonk’s Tributary, 

Kilbourn Road Ditch, Lamparek Creek, 

Nelson Creek, North Cape Lateral, Pike 

River, Root River, Sorenson Creek, 

Union Grove Industrial Tributary,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Emergency Management Agency 

(FEMA) publishes proposed 

determinations of Base (1% annualchance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) and 

modified BFEs for communities 

participating in the National Flood 

Insurance Program (NFIP), 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 BFEs and modified 

BFEs, together with the floodplain 

management criteria required by 44 CFR 

60.3, are minimum requirements. 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 proposed elevations are used to 

meet the floodplain management 

requirements of the NFIP and also are 

used to calculate the appropriate flood 

insurance premium rates for new 

buildings built after these elevations are 

made final, and for the contents in those 

buildings. 

Correction 

In the proposed rule published at 72 

FR 73732, in the December 28, 2007, 

issue of the Federal Register, FEMA 

published a table under the authority of 

44 CFR 67.4. The table, entitled ‘‘Racine 

County, Wisconsin, and Incorporated 

Areas’’ addressed the following flooding 

sources: Bartlett Branch, Chicory Creek, 

East/West Canal, Fonk’s Tributary, 

Kilbourn Road Ditch, Lamparek Creek, 

Nelson Creek, North Cape Lateral, Pike 

River, Root River, Sorenson Creek, 

Union Grove Industrial Tributary, 

Unnamed Tributary No. 18 to Kilbourn 

Road Ditch, Unnamed Tributary No. 2 to 

West Branch Root River Canal, 

Unnamed Tributary No. 37 to Des 

Plaines River, Unnamed Tributary No. 

38 to Des Plaines River, Unnamed 

Tributary No. 39 to Des Plaines River, 

Unnamed Tributary to Unnamed 

Tributary No. 2 to West Branch Root 

River Canal, and Waxdale Creek. That 

table contained inaccurate information 

as to the location of referenced 

elevation, effective and modified 

elevation in feet, and/or communities 

affected for the following flooding 

sources: Bartlett Branch, Chicory Creek, 

Kilbourn Road Ditch, Lamparek Creek, 

Nelson Creek, Pike River, Sorenson 

Creek, Unnamed Tributary No. 18 to 

Kilbourn Road Ditch, and Waxdale 

Creek. In this notice, FEMA is 

publishing a table containing the 

accurate information, to address these 

prior errors. The information provided 

below should be used in lieu of that 

previously published.

Proposed Flood Elevation 

Determinations 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, DHS. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on 

the proposed Base (1% annual-chance) 

Flood Elevations (BFEs) and proposed 

BFE modifications for the communities 

listed in the table below. The purpose 

of this proposed rule 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 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, 

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. 

DATES: Comments are to be submitted 

on or before July 18, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: The corresponding 

preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map 

(FIRM) for the proposed BFEs for each 

community is available for inspection at 

the community’s map repository. The 

respective addresses are listed in the 

table below. 

You may submit comments, identified 

by Docket No. FEMA–B–1189, to Luis

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Emergency Management Agency 

(FEMA) proposes to make 

determinations of BFEs and modified 

BFEs 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 BFEs and modified 

BFEs, 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 proposed elevations are used to 

meet the floodplain management 

requirements of the NFIP and also are 

used to calculate the appropriate flood 

insurance premium rates for new 

buildings built after these elevations are 

made final, and for the contents in those 

buildings. 

Comments on any aspect of the Flood 

Insurance Study and FIRM, other than 

the proposed BFEs, will be considered. 

A letter acknowledging receipt of any 

comments will not be sent. 

National Environmental Policy Act. 

This proposed rule is categorically 

excluded from the requirements of 44 

CFR part 10, Environmental 

Consideration. An environmental 

impact assessment has not been 

prepared. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act. As flood 

elevation determinations are not within 

the scope of the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, a regulatory 

flexibility analysis is not required. 

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory 

Planning and Review. This proposed 

rule is not a significant regulatory action 

under the criteria of section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866, as amended. 

Executive Order 13132, Federalism. 

This proposed rule involves no policies 

that have federalism implications under 

Executive Order 13132. 

Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice 

Reform. This proposed rule meets the 

applicable standards of Executive Order 

12988.
