AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Final Notice.

for participation in the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA's) 
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, the FIRM and FIS 
report are used by insurance agents and others to calculate appropriate 
flood insurance premium rates for buildings and the contents of those 
buildings.

DATES: The effective date of July 16, 2013 which has been established 
for the FIRM and, where applicable, the supporting FIS report showing 
the new or modified flood hazard information for each community.

final flood hazard information for each community is available for 
inspection at the respective Community Map Repository address listed in 
the tables below and will be available online through the FEMA Map 
Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov by the effective date indicated
