    The FIRM and FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management 
measures that a community is required either to adopt or to show 
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 October 2, 2015 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.

final flood hazard information for each community is available for 
inspection at the respective Community Map Repository address listed in
