[Docket ID FEMA-2015-0001; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1510]


Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency; DHS.

ACTION: Notice; correction.

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

SUMMARY: On May 6, 2015, FEMA published in the Federal Register a 
proposed flood hazard determination notice that contained erroneous 
tables. This notice provides corrections to those tables, to be used in 
lieu of the information published at 80 FR 26068-26070. The tables 
provided here represent the proposed flood hazard determinations and 
communities affected for Lee County, Florida, and Incorporated Areas 
and San Patricio County, Texas, and Incorporated Areas.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before October 26, 2015.

ADDRESSES: The Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), and where 
applicable, the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report for each community 
are available for inspection at both the online location and the 
respective Community Map Repository address listed in the table below. 
Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS report for each 
community are accessible online through the FEMA Map Service Center at 
www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-1510, to 
Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering Management Branch, Federal Insurance 
and Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 
20472, (202) 646-4064, or (email) [email protected].

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) 
[email protected]; or visit the FEMA Map Information 
eXchange (FMIX) online at www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA proposes to make flood hazard 
determinations for each community listed in the table below, 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 flood hazard determinations, 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 flood 
hazard determinations 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 the FIRM 
and FIS report become effective.
    Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to 
communities in support of the appeal resolution process. SRPs are 
independent panels of experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and other 
pertinent sciences established to review conflicting scientific and 
technical data and provide recommendations for resolution. Use of the 
SRP may only be exercised after FEMA and local communities have been 
engaged in a collaborative consultation process for at least 60 days 
without a mutually acceptable resolution of an appeal. Additional 
information regarding the SRP process can be found online at http://floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_fact_sheet.pdf.
    The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are 
provided in the table below. Any request for reconsideration of the 
revised flood hazard determinations shown on the Preliminary FIRM and 
FIS report that satisfies the data requirements outlined in 44 CFR 
67.6(b) is considered an appeal. Comments unrelated to the flood hazard 
determinations will also be considered before the FIRM and FIS report 
are made final.

Correction

    In the proposed flood hazard determination notice published at 80 
FR 26068-26070 in the May 6, 2015, issue of the Federal Register, FEMA 
published tables titled ``Lee County, Florida, and Incorporated Areas'' 
and ``San Patricio County, Texas, and Incorporated Areas''. These 
tables contained inaccurate information as to the community name for 
the Unincorporated Areas of Lee County and the community map repository 
address for the City of San Patricio. In this document, FEMA is 
publishing the tables containing the accurate information. The 
information provided below should be used in lieu of that previously 
published.
