utility of the Collection; (2) the accuracy 

of the estimated burden of the 

Collection; (3) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of 

information subject to the Collection; 

and (4) ways to minimize the burden of 

the Collection on respondents, 

including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. These 

comments will help OIRA determine 

whether to approve the ICR referred to 

in this Notice.

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–2481, to Rick 

Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering Services 

Branch, Federal Insurance and 

Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 400

Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 400

the FEMA Mapping and Insurance 

eXchange (FMIX) online at https://

www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_

main.html. 

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.
