[Docket ID FEMA-2015-0001]


Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Final notice.

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

SUMMARY: New or modified Base (1-percent annual chance) Flood 
Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) 
boundaries or zone designations, and/or regulatory floodways 
(hereinafter referred to as flood hazard determinations) as shown on 
the indicated Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) for each of the communities 
listed in the table below are finalized. Each LOMR revises the Flood 
Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and in some cases the Flood Insurance 
Study (FIS) reports, currently in effect for the listed communities. 
The flood hazard determinations modified by each LOMR will be used to 
calculate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and their 
contents.

DATES: The effective date for each LOMR is indicated in the table 
below.

ADDRESSES: Each LOMR is available for inspection at both the respective 
Community Map Repository address listed in the table below and online 
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering 
Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, 
FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-4064, or 
(email) Luis.Rodriguez3@fema.dhs.gov; or visit the FEMA Map Information 
eXchange (FMIX) online at www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency 
(FEMA) makes the final flood hazard determinations as shown in the 
LOMRs for each community listed in the table below. Notice of these 
modified flood hazard determinations has been published in newspapers 
of local circulation and 90 days have elapsed since that publication. 
The Deputy Associate Administrator for Mitigation has resolved any 
appeals resulting from this notification.
    The modified flood hazard determinations are made pursuant to 
section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 
4105, and are in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of 
1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq., and with 44 CFR part 65.
    For rating purposes, the currently effective community number is 
shown and must be used for all new policies and renewals.
    The new or modified flood hazard information is the basis for the 
floodplain management measures that the community is required either to 
adopt or to show evidence of being already in effect in order to remain 
qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program 
(NFIP).
    This new or modified flood hazard information, 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.
    This new or modified flood hazard determinations 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, and for the contents in those buildings. The changes in 
flood hazard determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    Interested lessees and owners of real property are encouraged to 
review the final flood hazard information available at the address 
cited below for each community or online through the FEMA Map Service 
Center at www.msc.fema.gov.
