2015-24411. Final Flood Hazard Determinations; Correction

AGENCY:

Federal Emergency Management Agency; DHS.

ACTION:

Final notice; correction.

SUMMARY:

On August 19, 2015, FEMA published in the Federal Register a final 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 80 FR 50316. The table provided here represents the final flood hazard determinations and communities affected for Norman County, Minnesota, and Incorporated Areas.

Flood hazard determinations, which may include additions or modifications of Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, or regulatory floodways on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and where applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports have been made final for the communities listed in the table below.

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 September 30, 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.

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 the table below and will be available online through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov by the effective date indicated above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) makes the final determinations listed below for the new or modified flood hazard information for each community listed. Notification of these changes has been published in newspapers of local circulation and ninety (90) days have elapsed since that publication. The Deputy Associate Administrator for Mitigation has resolved any appeals resulting from this notification.

This final notice is issued in accordance with section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR part 67. FEMA has developed criteria for floodplain management in floodprone areas in accordance with 44 CFR part 60.

The flood hazard determinations are made final in the watersheds and/or communities listed in the table below.

Correction

In the final flood hazard determination notice published at 80 FR 50316 in the August 19, 2015, issue of the Federal Register, FEMA published a table titled “Norman County, Minnesota, and Incorporated Areas”. This table contained inaccurate information as to the communities affected by the final flood hazard determinations for Norman County, Minnesota, and Incorporated Areas. 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.
