SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Emergency Management 

Agency’s (FEMA’s) Homeland Security 

Grant Program (HSGP) supports state, 

local, tribal, and territorial governments 

efforts to prevent terrorism and prepare 

the Nation for the threats and hazards 

that pose the greatest risk to the security 

of the United States. The HSGP provides 

funding to implement investments that 

build, sustain, and deliver the 32 core 

capabilities essential to achieving the 

National Preparedness Goal of a secure 

and resilient Nation. The building, 

sustainment, and delivery of these core 

capabilities are not exclusive to any 

single level of government, organization, 

or community, but rather, require the 

combined effort of the whole 

community. The HSGP supports core 

capabilities across the five mission areas 

of Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, 

Response, and Recovery based on 

allowable costs. HSGP is comprised of 

three grant programs: State Homeland 

Security Program (SHSP), Urban Area 

Security Initiative (UASI), and 

Operation Stonegarden (OPSG). 

Together, these grant programs fund a 

range of activities, including planning, 

organization, equipment purchase, 

training, exercises, and management 

and administration across all core 

capabilities and mission areas. The 

authorizing authority of the HSGP is 

section 2002 of the Homeland Security 

Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107–296) (See 6 

U.S.C. 603–609, as amended). 

This revision of the information 

collection removes the OPSG Daily 

Activity Report, FEMA Form FF–207– 

FY–21–113 (formerly 089–0–27) that 

was created at the behest of CBP to 

fulfill CBP’s requirements under OPSG 

and is only used to collect information 

from the public by CBP. FEMA has 

previously included this instrument 

under this collection as a service to 

CBP, but including an instrument used 

by CBP under a collection granting 

FEMA the authority to collect 

information does not provide the proper 

service to CBP, FEMA or the public. 

This proposed information collection 

previously published in the Federal 

Register on November 17, 2023, at 88 

FR 80324 with a 60-day public comment 

period. No comments were received. 

The purpose of this notice is to notify 

the public that FEMA will submit the 

information collection abstracted below 

to the Office of Management and Budget 

for review and clearance.

Abstract: The Homeland Security 

Grant Program (HSGP) is an important 

tool among a comprehensive set of 

measures to help strengthen the Nation 

against risks associated with potential 

terrorist attacks. FEMA uses the 

information to evaluate applicants’ 

familiarity with the national 

preparedness architecture and identify 

how elements of this architecture have 

been incorporated into planning, 

operations, and investments at the 

regional, state and local levels. The 

HSGP is a primary funding mechanism 

for building and sustaining national 

preparedness capabilities. The HSGP is 

comprised of three separate grant 

programs: the State Homeland Security 

Program (SHSP), the Urban Area 

Security Initiative (UASI), and 

Operation Stonegarden (OPSG). 

Together, these grants fund a range of 

preparedness activities, including 

planning, organization, equipment 

purchase, training, exercises, and 

management and administration costs. 

Affected Public: State, local, or Tribal 

governments. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

709. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 827. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 319,488. 

Estimated Total Annual Respondent 

Cost: $26,821,018. 

Estimated Respondents’ Operation 

and Maintenance Costs: $0. 

Estimated Respondents’ Capital and 

Start-Up Costs: $0. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost to the 

Federal Government: $1,628,369.

Changes in Flood Hazard 

Determinations 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, Department of 

Homeland Security. 

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 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.

the FEMA Mapping and Insurance 

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://
