on the comments received, FEMA may make appropriate revisions to the 
proposed guidance. Although FEMA will consider any comments received in

publish a notice of availability in the Federal Register and make the 
final guidance available at http://www.regulations.gov. The final 
guidance would not have the force or effect of law.
