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 June 21, 2017 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

Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov by the effective date indicated
