Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Proposed rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: On October 7, 2010, the Federal Emergency Management Agency 
(FEMA) published in the Federal Register a proposed rule that included 
modified Base (1% annual-chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) for the 
locations along Cypress Creek Ditch and Victory Lake in Clay County, 
Arkansas. FEMA is no longer proposing these flood elevation 
determination changes along Cypress Creek Ditch and Victory Lake as 
identified in the above-referenced rulemaking publication.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before July 14, 2014.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-
1145, 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 
(email) [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 (email) [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA publishes proposed determinations of 
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.

Correction

    In the proposed rule published at 75 FR 62062-62063, in the October 
7, 2010, issue of the Federal Register, FEMA published a table under 
the authority of 44 CFR 67.4. The table, entitled ``Clay County, 
Arkansas, and Incorporated Areas'', addressed several flooding sources 
including Cypress Creek Ditch and Victory Lake. The proposed rule 
listed modified BFEs for Cypress Creek Ditch and Victory Lake between 
specific upstream and downstream locations listed in the table. FEMA is 
no longer proposing these flood elevation determination changes along 
Cypress Creek Ditch and Victory Lake as identified in the above-
referenced rulemaking publication.
