DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 67

 
Final Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On May 16, 2008, FEMA published in the Federal Register a 
final rule that contained an erroneous table. This notice provides 
corrections to that table, to be used in lieu of the information 
published at 73 FR 28352. The table provided here represents the 
flooding source, location of referenced elevation, modified elevation, 
and communities affected for Cabarrus County and Incorporated Areas. 
Specifically, it addresses flooding source Muddy Creek.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William R. Blanton, Jr., Chief, 
Engineering Management Branch, Mitigation Directorate, Federal 
Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472, 
(202) 646-3151 or (e-mail) bill.blanton@dhs.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency 
(FEMA) publishes final determinations of Base (1% annual-chance) Flood 
Elevations (BFEs) and modified BFEs for communities participating in 
the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), 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 final BFEs and modified BFEs, 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 final elevations 
are used to meet the floodplain management requirements of the NFIP and 
are also used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium 
rates for new buildings built after these elevations are made final, 
and for the contents in these buildings.

Correction

    In the final rule published at 73 FR 28352, in the May 16, 2008, 
issue of the Federal Register, FEMA published a table under the 
authority of 44 CFR 67.4. The table, entitled ``Cabarrus County and 
Incorporated Areas'' addressed flooding source Muddy Creek. That table 
contained inaccurate information as to the location of referenced 
elevation, modified elevation in feet, or communities affected for 
these flooding sources. In this notice, FEMA is publishing a table 
containing the accurate information, to address these prior errors. The 
information provided below should be used in lieu of that previously 
published.
