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.
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 <a href="https://floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_fact_sheet.pdf">https://floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_fact_sheet.pdf</a>.
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 87
FR 14551 in the March 15, 2022, issue of the Federal Register, FEMA
published tables titled ``Van Buren County, Michigan (All
Jurisdictions)'' and ``Lucas County, Ohio, and Incorporated Areas''.
The table titled ``Van Buren County, Michigan (All Jurisdictions)''
contained inaccurate information as to the community name and community
map repository for Charter Township of South Haven, Michigan featured
in the table. The table titled ``Lucas County, Ohio and Incorporated
Area'' contained inaccurate information as to the communities affected
by the proposed flood hazard determinations featured in
[[Page 34699]]
the table. 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.
