modified flood hazard determinations has been published in newspapers
of local circulation and 90 days have elapsed since that publication.
The Assistant Administrator, Federal Insurance Directorate, Resilience
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 current 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
[[Page 2548]]
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.
