National Flood Insurance Program: Conforming Changes To Reflect
the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 (BW-12) and the

Additional Clarifications for Plain Language; Correction
AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Homeland
Security (DHS).
ACTION: Correcting amendment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On July 20, 2020, FEMA published in the Federal Register a
final rule revising the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)
regulations to codify certain provisions of the Biggert-Waters Flood
Insurance Reform Act of 2012 and the Homeowner Flood Insurance
Affordability Act of 2014, and to clarify certain existing NFIP rules
relating to NFIP operations and the Standard Flood Insurance Policy.
This document provides corrections to information provided in a table.
DATES: This correction is effective November 9, 2021.
ADDRESSES: The docket for this rulemaking is available for inspection

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kelly Bronowicz, Director,
Policyholder Services Division, Federal Insurance and Mitigation
Administration, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 400 C Street SW,
Washington, DC 20472, (202) 557-9488.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 20, 2020, FEMA published in the
Federal Register a final rule revising the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP) regulations to codify certain provisions of the Biggert-
Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 and the Homeowner Flood
Insurance Affordability Act of 2014, and to clarify certain existing
NFIP rules relating to NFIP operations and the Standard Flood Insurance
Policy. In 44 CFR 61.6(a), Table 1, ``Maximum Amounts of Coverage
Available,'' contained two inadvertently placed asterisks next to
``Non-Residential Building'' in the ``Building Coverage'' heading. The
``**'' denotes that the maximum amount of coverage for Non-Residential
Buildings in Alaska, Guam, and Hawaii is $150,000.00. However, the
presence of ``**'' was an error, as 42 U.S.C. 4013 contains no such
maximum. Accordingly, this correction removes the incorrectly-placed
``**''.
List of Subjects in 44 CFR Part 61
Flood insurance, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.
For the reasons set forth above, 44 CFR part 61 is corrected by
making the following correcting amendment:
PART 61--INSURANCE COVERAGE AND RATES
0
1. The authority citation for part 61 continues to read as follows:
Authority: 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.; 6 U.S.C. 101 et seq.

2. In Sec. 61.6, amend table 1 to paragraph (a) under the heading
``Building Coverage'' by revising the entry ``Non-Residential

Sec. 61.6 Maximum amounts of coverage available.

statute for each building included in the relevant Occupancy Category.
