Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Proposed rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: FEMA is correcting a table for Carroll County, Arkansas, and 
Incorporated Areas.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kevin C. Long, Acting Chief, 
Engineering Management Branch, Mitigation Directorate, Federal 
Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472, 
(202) 646-2820 or (e-mail) kevin.long@dhs.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency 
(FEMA) proposes 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 proposed BFEs and modified BFEs, together with 
the floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are minimum 
requirements. 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 proposed 
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

    FEMA is correcting a table in a proposed rule which published on 
September 8, 2009, at 74 FR 46047. The table for Carroll County, 
Arkansas, and Incorporated Areas contained incorrect information for 
the flooding source ``Leatherwood Creek.''
    The September 8, 2009, proposed rule contained a table entitled 
``Carroll County, Arkansas, and Incorporated Areas,'' which contained 
errors. For flooding source ``Leatherwood Creek,'' the table contained 
inaccurate information as to the communities affected. FEMA is now 
publishing a revised table for Carroll County, Arkansas, and 
Incorporated Areas, containing the accurate information, to address 
these prior errors. The information provided in the table below should 
be used in lieu of the table published on September 8, 2009.
