SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency 
(FEMA) makes the final flood hazard determinations as shown in the 
LOMRs for each community listed in the table below. Notice of these 
modified flood hazard determinations has been published in newspapers 
of local circulation and 90 days have elapsed since that publication. 
The Deputy Associate Administrator for Insurance and Mitigation has 
resolved any appeals resulting from this notification.
    The modified flood hazard determinations are made pursuant to 
section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 
4105, and are in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of 
1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq., and with 44 CFR part 65.
    The currently effective community number is shown and must be used 
for all new policies and renewals.
    The new or modified flood hazard information is the basis for the 
floodplain management measures that the community is required either to 
adopt or to show evidence of being already in effect in order to remain 
qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program 
(NFIP).
    This new or modified flood hazard information, 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.
    This new or modified flood hazard determinations are used to meet 
the floodplain management requirements of the NFIP. The changes in 
flood hazard determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    Interested lessees and owners of real property are encouraged to 
review the final flood hazard information available at the address 
cited below for each community or online through the FEMA Map Service 
Center at <a href="https://msc.fema.gov">https://msc.fema.gov</a>.
