79944 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 190 / Tuesday, October 1, 2024 / Notices 

• Commenters should provide 

specific national-level data that 

document the costs, burdens, and 

benefits of potentially new requirements 

to the extent they are available. 

Commenters might also address how 

FEMA can best obtain and consider 

accurate, objective information and data 

about the costs, burdens, and benefits of 

the interim policy and whether there are 

existing sources of data that FEMA can 

use to evaluate the effects of the interim 

policy over time. 

• Commenters should identify with 

specificity administrative burdens, 

program requirements, information 

collection burdens, waiting time, or 

unnecessary complexity that may 

impose unjustified barriers in general, 

or that may have adverse effects on 

equity for all, including those in 

disadvantaged communities. 

• Commenters should provide the 

number of the question(s) being 

answered in the commenter’s response 

(e.g. In response to question #5 . . . ). 

IV. Specific Information Requested 

FEMA seeks comment on the interim 

policy, specifically on: 

1. How will the activities incentivized 

through the interim policy increase 

resilience or decrease future risk? Please 

explain. 

2. Will there be specific challenges 

faced by disadvantaged communities in 

meeting the requirements of the interim 

policy? In particular, will disadvantaged 

communities have challenges in 

adopting the building or energy codes 

necessary for the 10% increase in cost 

share? Please explain. 

3. Are the incentives outlined in the 

policy sufficient to encourage additional 

investment or activity that would not 

have otherwise occurred? Why or why 

not? 

4. Are there alternative measures that 

FEMA should consider incentivizing 

through the policy that would help to 

achieve greater readiness and resilience 

to future disasters? Some examples are 

outlined in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 

2018, which authorized FEMA to 

provide the cost share incentives under 

the PA program, including: adoption of 

a mitigation plan, participation in the 

community rating system, and making 

investments in disaster relief, insurance, 

and emergency management programs. 

Please comment on those examples and/ 

or provide additional examples. 

5. Are there ways to make the interim 

policy more accessible or to decrease 

public burden in its implementation? 

Please provide examples. 

Based on the comments received, 

FEMA may make appropriate revisions 

to the interim policy. When or if FEMA 

issues a final policy, FEMA will publish 

a notice of availability in the Federal 

Register and make the final policy 

available at https://

www.regulations.gov. Responses to this 

notice do not bind FEMA to any further 

actions related to the responses. The 

final policy will not have the force and 

effect of law.

Abstract: This 60-day notice is a 

renewal, with revisions, for the 

Hydrography Addressing Tool 

(HydroAdd), a website developed by the 

USGS National Geospatial Program, 

National Geospatial Technical 

Operations Center (NGTOC). 

HydroAdd supports users by 

providing a mechanism for addressing 

(or referencing) diverse external datasets 

to the National Hydrography Dataset 

(NHD). For example, a user can utilize 

HydroAdd to reference the geographic 

locations of field observations of fish 

presence to the NHD. HydroAdd 

provides a framework for the 

management of addressed data and 

enables upstream and downstream 

analyses within the context of the 

stream network. Any type of 

information can be addressed to the 

stream network, making this tool highly 

useful for a broad range of purposes that 

benefit the Nation. 

HydroAdd users are members of the 

public in State and local government, 

the private sector, academia, or are other 

users with basic knowledge of GIS. To 

use HydroAdd, users must first share 

their geospatial data as a hosted web 

feature service from ArcGIS Online. 

HydroAdd displays the user’s data as a 

web feature service in the browser 

window. Users can then utilize 

HydroAdd to address their data to the
