[Docket ID FEMA–2018–0002; Internal 

Agency Docket No. FEMA–B–1845] 

Changes in Flood Hazard 

Determinations 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: 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 Federal Regulations. 

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. 

DATES: These flood hazard 

determinations will be finalized 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 90 days in 

which to request through the 

community that the Deputy Associate 

Administrator for Insurance and 

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. 

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. 

Submit comments and/or appeals to 

the Chief Executive Officer of the 

community as listed in the table below. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick 

Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering Services 

Branch, Federal Insurance and 

Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 400 

C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472, 

(202) 646–7659, or (email) 

patrick.sacbibit@fema.dhs.gov; or visit 

the FEMA Map Information eXchange 

(FMIX) online at https://

www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_

main.html. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 

stricter requirements of its own or 

pursuant to policies established by other 

Federal, State, or regional entities. The 

flood hazard determinations are in 

accordance with 44 CFR 65.4. 

The affected communities are listed in 

the following table. Flood hazard 

determination 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. 

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.
