AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Final notice.

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

SUMMARY: Flood hazard determinations, which may include additions or 
modifications of Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths, 
Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, or 
regulatory floodways on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and where

evidence of having in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified 
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 November 6, 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.

ADDRESSES: The FIRM, and if applicable, the FIS report containing the 
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
