SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announces the

listing of changes made to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) 
maps that went into effect from January 1, 2008, through June 30, 2008. 
Future notices of NFIP map changes will be made available approximately 
every 6 months.

DATES: The listings include changes to NFIP maps that went into effect 
from January 1, 2008, through June 30, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with section 1360(i) of the 
National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, 42 U.S.C. 4101(i), this 
notice is provided to inform interested parties of the availability of 
changes made by FEMA to NFIP maps. In the Compendium of Flood Map 
Changes, the two listings show communities affected by map changes made 
by letter and communities affected by physical map changes. For each 
Letter of Map Change, the first listing provides the map panel(s) 
affected, effective (determination) date of the change, case number, 
and determination type. For each physical map change, the Map Revision 
listing provides the map panel(s) affected and the effective date

of the change. The listing also identifies: (1) Those panels on which 
the Special Flood Hazard Areas have not been changed or have been 
changed only to incorporate the Letters of Map Change issued before the 
effective date; and (2) those panels for which a Flood Insurance Rate 
Map is produced for the first time, resulting only in changes to flood 
insurance and floodplain management requirements in the affected 
community. Future notices of changes to NFIP maps will be made 
available approximately every 6 months.
