SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

September 23, 1994, Section 303(a) of 

the Riegle Community Development and 

Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994 

was signed into law. Section 303(a) of 

this Act requires the Federal bank and 

thrift regulatory agencies to conduct a 

systematic review of their regulation 

and written policies in order to improve 

efficiency, reduce unnecessary costs, 

and eliminate inconsistencies and 

outmoded and duplicative 

requirements. Title V of this Act is the 

National Flood Insurance Reform Act 

(NFIRA). Section 528 of the NFIRA 

requires that FEMA develop a standard 

hazard determination form for recording 

the determination of whether a structure 

is located within an identified Special 

Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) and whether 

flood insurance is available. Section 528 

of the NFIRA also requires the use of 

this form by regulated lending 

institutions, federal agency lenders, the 

Federal National Mortgage Association, 

the Federal Home Loan Mortgage 

Corporation, and the Government 

National Mortgage Association for any 

loan made, increased, extended, 

renewed or purchased by these entities. 

The requirement for federally 

regulated lending institutions to 

determine whether a building or mobile 

home securing a loan is located in an 

area having special flood hazards and 

whether flood insurance is available has 

been in effect since the enactment of the 

Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 

although the use of a standard form was 

not required until the enactment of the 

Riegle Community Development and 

Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994. 

The establishment of the Standard 

Flood Hazard Determination form has 

enabled lenders to provide consistent 

information.

Changes in Flood Hazard 

Determinations 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, DHS. 

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 Title 44, Part 65 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (44 CFR 

part 65). The LOMR will be used by 

insurance agents and others to calculate 

appropriate flood insurance premium 

rates for new buildings and the contents 

of those buildings. For rating purposes, 

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 become effective 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 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 

www.msc.fema.gov for comparison. 

Submit comments and/or appeals to 

the Chief Executive Officer of the 

community as listed in the table below. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis 

Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering 

Management Branch, Federal Insurance 

and Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 

500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 

20472, (202) 646–4064, or (email) 

Luis.Rodriguez3@fema.dhs.gov; or visit 

the FEMA Map Information eXchange 

(FMIX) online at 

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
