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
[[Page 40630]]
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 90
FR 21942 in the May 22, 2025, issue of the Federal Register, FEMA
published a table titled Carroll County, New Hampshire (All
Jurisdictions). This table omitted pertinent information as to the
communities affected by the proposed flood hazard determinations--the
Town of Ossipee should have been included. 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.
