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 March 13, 2025. 

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–2478, to Rick

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.

FXES11140800000–189–FF08ESMF00] 

Endangered and Threatened Species; 

Receipt of Amended Incidental Take 

Permit Application and Amended 

Habitat Conservation Plan for the 

Proposed Rooney Ranch Wind 

Repowering Project, Alameda County, 

CA; Draft Environmental Assessment 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of availability; request 

for comments. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (Service), have received 

an application for an amended 

incidental take permit under the 

Endangered Species Act (ESA) to 

conduct activities with the potential for 

take of endangered and threatened 

species that is incidental to, and not the 

purpose of, carrying out otherwise 

lawful activities. We invite comments 

on the applicant’s amended permit 

application and amended habitat 

conservation plan (HCP), and the 

associated environmental assessment, 

which we have prepared pursuant to the 

National Environmental Policy Act. The 

amended incidental take permit (ITP) is 

necessary due to an increase in the 

project’s temporary and permanent 

impacts and a new applicant for the ITP. 

In addition, the new applicant would 

like to add two additional species that 

have been proposed for Federal listing 

and request ‘‘take’’ coverage should the 

species become listed. We invite the 

public and local, State, Tribal, and 

Federal agencies to comment on the 

documents. Before issuing the requested 

permit, we will take into consideration 

all comments received. 

DATES: To ensure consideration, please 

send your written comments by January 

13, 2025.

www.regulations.gov. 

You may also obtain electronic copies

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the 

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, have 

prepared an environmental assessment 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act (NEPA) for the proposed 

Rooney Ranch Wind Repowering Project 

in response to an application from 

Viracocha Wind, LLC (applicant) for a 

36-year amended incidental take permit 

for three species under the Endangered 

Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 

16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), and two 

additional species that have been 

proposed for Federal listing. This 

amended ITP is an update to the 

previously issued ITP for the project. 

(For more about that process, see our 

notice of May 28, 2020 (85 FR 32044).) 

Changes to the project’s anticipated 

disturbance acreage, inclusion of the 

additional two species, and the change 

of applicant necessitate the amended 

ITP. The application addresses the 

potential for ‘‘take’’ of the following 

three federally listed animals: the 

Central California distinct population 

segment of the California tiger 

salamander (Ambystoma californiense) 

(central CTS), the California red-legged 

frog (Rana draytonii), and the San 

Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis 

mutica). The application also addresses 

the potential for ‘‘take’’ of the following 

two animals proposed for Federal 

listing: northwestern pond turtle 

(Actinemys marmorata) and western 

spadefoot (Spea hammondii), a frog 

species. The applicant would 

implement a conservation program to 

minimize and mitigate the project 

impacts, as described in the applicant’s 

amended habitat conservation plan 

(HCP). We invite comments on the 

applicant’s permit application, amended 

HCP, and the associated amended EA, 

which we have prepared pursuant to the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969, as amended (NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 

4321 et seq.), and its implementing 

regulations in the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) at 40 CFR 1506.6. We 

will take comments into consideration 

before issuance of the requested permit. 

The applicant has submitted a draft 

amended HCP as part of the application 

for an ITP under section 10(a)(1)(B) of 

the ESA. The draft amended HCP 

includes measures necessary to 

minimize and mitigate the impacts, to 

the maximum extent practicable, of 

potential taking of federally listed 

species to be covered by the amended 

HCP, and the habitats upon which they 

depend, resulting from construction and 

operation of the proposed Rooney 

Ranch Wind Repowering Project within 

the project area, to include portions of 

the Altamont Pass Wind Resource Area 

(APWRA) in Alameda County, 

California.
