Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations
AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: Proposed rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On September 13, 2010, FEMA published in the Federal Register a proposed rule that contained an erroneous table. On December 10, 2012, a correction to that original notice was published in the Federal Register. This notice provides corrections to that initial table and the correction notice, to be used in lieu of the information published at 75 FR 55515 and 77 FR 73394. The table provided here represents the flooding sources, location of referenced elevations, effective and modified elevations, and communities affected for Mercer County, Pennsylvania (All Jurisdictions). Specifically, it addresses the following flooding sources: Baker Run, Little Shenango River, Munnell Run, Neshannock Creek, Otter Creek, Sawmill Run, Shenango River, and Wolf Creek.
DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before July 15, 2013.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-
1127, to Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-4064 or (email) Luis.Rodriguez3@fema.dhs.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-4064 or (email) Luis.Rodriguez3@fema.dhs.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) publishes proposed determinations of Base (1% 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 minimum requirements. 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 elevations 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 built after these elevations are made final, and for the contents in those buildings.
Correction
In the proposed rule published at 75 FR 55515 in the September 13, 2010, issue of the Federal Register, FEMA published a table under the authority of 44 CFR 67.4. Corrections to that table were subsequently published at 77 FR
Page 22223
73394 in the December 10, 2012, issue of the Federal Register under the authority of 44 CFR 67.4. The corrected table, entitled ``Mercer County, Pennsylvania (All Jurisdictions)'' addressed the following flooding sources: Baker Run, Little Shenango River, Munnell Run, Neshannock Creek, Otter Creek, Sawmill Run, Shenango River, and Wolf Creek. That table contained inaccurate information as to the location of referenced elevation, effective and modified elevation in feet, and/
or communities affected for the flooding source Shenango River. In addition, several of the map repository addresses and the community names of the City of Hermitage and the Borough of Wheatland included in the notice were incorrect. In this notice, FEMA is publishing a table containing the accurate information, to address these prior errors. The information provided below should be used in lieu of that previously published.
Correction
In proposed rule FR Doc. 2010dash20966, beginning on page 55527 in the issue of September 13, 2010, make the following correction. On pages 55522-55523, correct the Mercer County, Pennsylvania table as follows:
