DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 67

[Docket ID FEMA-2011-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1175]


Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Proposed rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: On February 16, 2011, FEMA published in the Federal Register a 
proposed rule that contained an erroneous table. This notice provides 
corrections to that table, to be used in lieu of the information 
published at 76 FR 8978. The table provided here represents the 
flooding sources, location of referenced elevations, effective and 
modified elevations, and communities affected for Yolo County, 
California, and Incorporated Areas. Specifically, it addresses the 
following flooding sources: Cache Creek, Cache Creek Left Bank 
Overflow, and Cache Creek Right Bank Overflow.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before August 8, 2011.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-
1175, to Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering Management Branch, Federal 
Insurance and Mitigation Administration, Federal Emergency Management 
Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-4064 or (e-
mail) [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering 
Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, 
Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 
20472, (202) 646-4064 or (e-mail) [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency 
(FEMA) publishes proposed 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 
also are used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium 
rates for new buildings built after these elevations are made final, 
and for the contents in those buildings.

Corrections

    In the proposed rule published at 76 FR 8978, in the February 16, 
2011, issue of the Federal Register, FEMA published a table under the 
authority of 44 CFR 67.4. The table, entitled ``Unincorporated Areas of 
Yolo County, California'' addressed the flooding source Cache Creek 
Settling Basin. That table contained inaccurate information as to the 
location of referenced elevation, effective and modified elevation in 
feet, and/or communities affected for this flooding source. In this 
notice, FEMA is publishing a table containing the accurate information, 
to address these prior errors. The information published in the Federal 
Register on February 16, 2011, for Cache Creek Settling Basin has been 
divided into individual descriptions for Cache Creek, Cache Creek Left 
Bank Overflow, and Cache Creek Right Bank Overflow to provide more 
detailed information on the area affected by these proposed BFEs and 
modified BFEs. The City of Woodland also has been added as a community 
affected by Cache Creek Right Bank Overflow. The information

provided below should be used in lieu of that previously published for 
Cache Creek Settling Basin.
