FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY

44 CFR Part 67

Docket No. FEMA-B-7424


Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

ACTION: Correction of proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to the proposed rule 
(Docket No. FEMA-B-7424), which was published on February 5, 2002. The 
correction more accurately represents the Flood Insurance Study and 
Flood Insurance Rate Map for the unincorporated areas of Greene County, 
Missouri, than previously published.

DATES: The comment period is ninety (90) days following the second 
publication of this correction to the proposed rule in a newspaper of 
local circulation in the community.

ADDRESSES: The proposed base flood elevations for the community are 
available for inspection at the Planning and Zoning Section, 833 
Boonville Road, Springfield, Missouri 65802.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Matthew B. Miller, P.E., Chief, 
Hazards Study Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, 
500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-3461, or (e-mail) 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency 
(FEMA) publishes proposed determinations of base (1-percent-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 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 proposed BFEs 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 proposed rule FR Doc. 02-2660, published February 5, 2002 (67 FR

Commissioner, Greene County Commissioners, County Courthouse, 940
