SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Government is developing
multiple resources to support Federal agencies and applicants or
recipients of Federal financial assistance in the implementation of the
Federal Flood Risk Management Standard (FFRMS, established by Executive
Order 13690 and reinstated by Executive Order 14030). These resources
include the Federal Flood Standard Support website and the Federal
Flood Standard Support Tool. On April 11, 2024, OSTP published in the
Federal Register a document (89 FR 25674) inviting comments on the beta
version of the Federal Flood Standard Support website (available at
<a href="http://floodstandard.climate.gov">http://floodstandard.climate.gov</a>) and the Federal Flood Standard
Support Tool (available at <a href="http://floodstandard.climate.gov/tool">http://floodstandard.climate.gov/tool</a>). The
Request for Comments was issued to seek input on these resources, in
particular (a) feedback on the functionality of the Federal Flood
Standard Support Tool in providing a user-friendly visual
representation and actionable information on FFRMS approaches for
federally funded projects; (b) insights on potential training and/or
technical assistance needs associated with use of the Federal Flood
Standard Support Tool; and (c) suggestions for clarifying the
communication of the flood mapping data development methodology. The
document stated that the comment period would close on May 28, 2024.
OSTP has received requests to extend the comment period. An extension
of the comment period will provide additional opportunity for the
public to consider the Request for Comments and prepare comments to
address the topics listed therein. Therefore, OSTP is extending the end
of the comment period for the Request for Comments from May 28, 2024 to
June 18, 2024.
