Abstract
On November 15, 2022, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (the Corps) published a proposed rule to revise its natural disaster procedures under this part of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), which implements a section of the Flood Control Act of 1941, as amended. The comment period was originally scheduled to end on January 17, 2023, and we received requests to extend the comment period. I am extending the comment period by 30 days to provide a 90-day comment period for this proposed rule. Comments previously submitted do not need to be resubmitted, as they have already been incorporated into the administrative record and will be fully considered in the Corps' decision-making process for this rulemaking action.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the November 15, 2022, issue of the
Federal Register (87 FR 68386), the Corps published a proposed rule to
revise its natural disaster procedures under this part of the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), which implements a section of the Flood
Control Act of 1941, as amended. Revisions will incorporate advances in
risk-informed decision-making approaches and disaster response lessons
learned, as well as recent amendments to this section of the Flood
Control Act of 1941.
We have received requests for an extension of the comment period
for the proposed rule. The Corps finds that a 30-day extension of the
comment period for this proposed rule is warranted. Therefore, the
comment period for this proposed rule is extended until February 16,
2023.
Michael L. Connor,
Assistant Secretary of the Army, (Civil Works).
