SUMMARY: On July 31, 2023, FEMA

proposed flood hazard determination 

notice that contained an erroneous

to that table to be used in lieu of the 

erroneous information. The table 

provided here represents the proposed 

flood hazard determinations and 

communities affected for Kenai 

Peninsula Borough, Alaska and 

Incorporated Areas. 

DATES: Comments are to be submitted 

on or before October 30, 2023. 

ADDRESSES: The Preliminary Flood 

Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), and where 

applicable, the Flood Insurance Study 

(FIS) report for each community are

online location and the respective 

Community Map Repository address 

listed in the table below. Additionally, 

the current effective FIRM and FIS 

report for each community are

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA 

proposes to make flood hazard 

determinations for each community 

listed in the table 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 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 

stricter requirements of its own, or 

pursuant to policies established by other 

Federal, State, or regional entities. 

These flood hazard determinations are 

used to meet the floodplain 

management requirements of the NFIP. 

Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel 

(SRP) is available to communities in 

support of the appeal resolution 

process. SRPs are independent panels of 

experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and 

other pertinent sciences established to 

review conflicting scientific and 

technical data and provide 

recommendations for resolution. Use of 

the SRP may only be exercised after 

FEMA and local communities have been 

engaged in a collaborative consultation 

process for at least 60 days without a 

mutually acceptable resolution of an 

appeal. Additional information 

regarding the SRP process can be found 

online at https://floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_

fact_sheet.pdf. 

The communities affected by the 

flood hazard determinations are 

provided in the table below. Any 

request for reconsideration of the 

revised flood hazard determinations 

shown on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS 

report that satisfies the data 

requirements outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b) 

is considered an appeal. Comments 

unrelated to the flood hazard 

determinations will also be considered 

before the FIRM and FIS report are 

made final. 

Correction 

In the proposed flood hazard 

determination notice published at 88 FR 

49487 in the July 31, 2023, issue of the 

Federal Register, FEMA published a 

table titled Kenai Peninsula Borough, 

Alaska and Incorporated Areas. This 

table contained inaccurate information 

as to the community map repository for 

the City of Soldotna featured in the 

table. In this document, FEMA is 

publishing a table containing the 

accurate information. The information 

provided below should be used in lieu 

of that previously published.
