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

    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

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

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.
