Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 67

[Docket ID FEMA-2008-0020; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1022]

 
Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations; Correction

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Proposed rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This document corrects the table to a proposed rule published 
in the Federal Register of December 9, 2008. This correction clarifies 
the table representing the flooding source(s), location of referenced 
elevation, the effective and modified elevation in feet and the 
communities affected for Madison County, Mississippi, and Incorporated 
Areas; specifically, for flooding source ``Reunion Lake 1,'' 
than was previously published.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William R. Blanton, Jr., Engineering 
Management Branch, Mitigation Directorate, Federal Emergency Management 
Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-2903.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency 
(FEMA) publishes proposed determinations of Base (1-percent-annual-
chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) and modified BFEs for communities 
participating in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), 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 BFEs and modified BFEs, 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 proposed BFEs 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 these elevations are made final, and for 
the contents in these buildings.

Correction

    In proposed rule FR Doc. E8-29068, beginning on page 74669 in the 
issue of December 9, 2008, make the following corrections, in the table 
published under the authority of 44 CFR 67.4. On page 74669, in Sec.  
67.4, in the table with center heading Madison County, Mississippi, and 
Incorporated Areas, the flooding source, location of referenced 
elevation, the effective and modified elevation in feet and the 
communities affected for flooding source ``Reunion Lake 1'', 
needs to be corrected to read as follows:
