FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Joycelyn Collins, Underwriting Branch 

Program Analyst, Federal Insurance 

Directorate, 202–701–3383. You may 

contact the Information Management 

Division for copies of the proposed 

collection of information at email 

address: FEMA-Information-CollectionsManagement@fema.dhs.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Flood Insurance Program 

(NFIP) is authorized by the National 

Flood Insurance Act of 1968 (90–448, 

title XIII) and expanded by the Flood 

Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (93–234) 

and requires that FEMA provide flood 

insurance. FEMA delineates flood zones 

on a Flood Insurance Rate Map to 

identify Special Flood Hazard Areas 

(SFHAs) in a community. 44 CFR 

60.3(c)(2) requires that all new 

construction and substantial 

improvements of residential structures 

within SFHA Zones A1–30, AE, AH, 

and AO zones have the lowest floor, 

including the basement, elevated to or 

above the base flood level unless a 

community-wide exception or sitespecific variance is granted. 44 CFR 

60.6(a)(7) and 44 CFR 60.6(b)(1) allow 

communities to apply for an exception 

when circumstances present a hardship 

that would not allow for adherence to 

the requirement for elevation above the 

base flood level. This exception must 

meet the conditions set forth in 44 CFR 

60.6(c). When owners of residential 

structures in these zones are seeking 

flood insurance, they must be certified 

that the structural design is floodproof.

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 April 30, 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.

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 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
6126 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 21 / Wednesday, January 31, 2024 / Notices 

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/prelim

download 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.

Secretary for Public and Indian 

Housing; Office of the Assistant 

Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing 

Commissioner; and Office of the 

Assistant Secretary for Community 

Planning and Development, HUD.

SUMMARY: HUD’s regulations provide for 

HUD to periodically publish in the 

Federal Register a notice that lists 

sources of income specifically excluded 

by any Federal statute from 

consideration as income for purposes of 

determining eligibility or benefits in a 

HUD program. HUD last published a 

notice that listed federally mandated 

exclusions from consideration of 

income on May 20, 2014. This notice 

replaces the previously published 

version, adds new exclusions, and 

removes exclusions that are now 

codified in HUD regulations.
