Proposed Flood Hazard 

Determinations 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, Department of 

Homeland Security. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: 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). 

DATES: Comments are to be submitted 

on or before January 11, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and 

where applicable, the FIS report for 

each community are available for 

inspection at both the online location 

https://hazards.fema.gov/femaportal/ 

prelimdownload and the respective 

Community Map Repository address 

listed in the tables below. Additionally, 

the current effective FIRM and FIS 

report for each community are 

accessible online through the FEMA 

Map Service Center at https://

msc.fema.gov for comparison. 

You may submit comments, identified 

by Docket No. FEMA–B–2378, to Rick 

Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering Services 

Branch, Federal Insurance and 

Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 400

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA 

proposes to make flood hazard 

determinations 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 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. 

The communities affected by the 

flood hazard determinations are 

provided in the tables below. Any 

request for reconsideration of the 

revised flood hazard information 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 also will be 

considered before the FIRM and FIS 

report become effective. 

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 only may 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://www.floodsrp.org/pdfs/ 

srp_overview.pdf. 

The watersheds and/or communities 

affected are listed in the tables below. 

The Preliminary FIRM, and where 

applicable, FIS report for each 

community are available for inspection 

at both the online location https://

hazards.fema.gov/femaportal/ 

prelimdownload and the respective 

Community Map Repository address 

listed in the tables. For communities 

with multiple ongoing Preliminary 

studies, the studies can be identified by 

the unique project number and 

Preliminary FIRM date listed in the 

tables. Additionally, the current 

effective FIRM and FIS report for each 

community are accessible online 

through the FEMA Map Service Center 

at https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice informs the public that HUD is 

seeking approval from OMB for the 

information collection described in 

Section A. 

The Federal Register notice that 

solicited public comment on the 

information collection for a period of 60 

days was published on May 4, 2023 at 

88 FR 28594. 

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: 

Project Based Vouchers (PBV) Online 

Form. 

OMB Approval Number: 2577–0296. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Form Number: HUD is developing a 

standardized electronic system that will 

collect this information. Within the 

scope of this collection, HUD requests 

the information in this notice from 

Public Housing Authorities (PHA) 

participating in the PBV program. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: PHAs 

apply for funding to assist low-income 

families to lease housing. One of the 

programs through which PHAs provide 

housing assistance is the Housing 

Choice Voucher (HCV) Program, a 

tenant-based rental assistance program. 

This program operates by providing 

vouchers that cover a portion of the rent 

to owner for a unit. Some PHAs projectbase their vouchers (the rental 

assistance is connected to a unit, not a 

family). Project-based vouchers (PBVs) 

are becoming a larger percentage of 

PHAs overall HCV portfolios, rising 

from just over 110,000 in 2016 to 

approximately 307,000 at the end of 

2022. The PBV portfolio is expected to 

grow even more with the on-going 

conversion of up to 455,000 public 

housing units to project-based 

assistance under the Congressionally 

authorized Rental Assistance 

Demonstration (RAD). HUD currently 

collects information on individual 

participants in the HCV program who 

are in PBV units. 

This leaves a gap in HUD’s 

information collection of PBVs between 

the individual tenant data and the 

aggregated PHA data. HUD does not 

systematically collect information on 

the development or project level, 

including the number of units at PBV 

projects, what exceptions apply, their 

rents, the terms of contract, and 

numerous other potential data points. 

This creates a challenge for monitoring, 

tracking and analyzing PBV projects, 

and limits HUD’s ability to respond to 

requests for information on the PBV 

program from Congress and other 

sources. Additionally, it prevents HUD 

from having data with which to make 

informed decisions on risk-mitigation 

strategies with respect to PBVs. 

Potential risks are particularly 

heightened in the case of RAD PBV 

where a PHA-owned property is 

required to have an independent entity 

that performs inspections and 

determines rent adjustments. Currently,
