[Docket ID FEMA-2019-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1927]
Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations
AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency; DHS.
ACTION: Notice; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On May 20, 2019, FEMA published in the Federal Register a
proposed flood hazard determination notice that contained an erroneous
table. This notice provides corrections to that table, to be used in
lieu of the information published at 84 FR 22875-22876. The table
provided here represents the proposed flood hazard determinations and
communities affected for Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania (All
Jurisdictions).
DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before September 9, 2019.
ADDRESSES: The Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), and where
applicable, the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report for each community
are available for inspection at both the online location and the
respective Community Map Repository address listed in the table below.
Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS report for each
community are accessible online through the FEMA Map Service Center at
https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.
You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-1927, to
Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering Services Branch, Federal Insurance
and Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 400 C Street SW, Washington, DC
20472, (202) 646-7659, or (email) [email protected].
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-7659, or (email)
[email protected]; or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community listed in the table below, 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 flood hazard determinations, together with the
floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum
that are required. 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 flood
hazard determinations are used to meet the floodplain management
requirements of the NFIP and are also used to calculate the appropriate
flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after the FIRM
and FIS report become effective.
Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to
communities in support of the appeal resolution process. SRPs are
independent panels of experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and other
pertinent sciences established to review conflicting scientific and
technical data and provide recommendations for resolution. Use of the
SRP may only be exercised after FEMA and local communities have been
engaged in a collaborative consultation process for at least 60 days
without a mutually acceptable resolution of an appeal. Additional
information regarding the SRP process can be found online at https://floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_fact_sheet.pdf.
The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are
provided in the table below. Any request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard determinations shown on the Preliminary FIRM and
FIS report that satisfies the data requirements outlined in 44 CFR
67.6(b) is considered an appeal. Comments unrelated to the flood hazard
determinations will also be considered before the FIRM and FIS report
are made final.
Correction
In the proposed flood hazard determination notice published at 84
FR 22875-22876 in the May 20, 2019, issue of the Federal Register, FEMA
published a table titled Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania (All
Jurisdictions). This table contained inaccurate information as to as to
the communities affected by the proposed flood hazard determinations,
featured in the table.
In this document, FEMA is publishing a table containing the
accurate information. The information provided below should be used in
lieu of that previously published.
