SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 2, 2025, FEMA published a 
proposed notice at 90 FR 47788, proposing flood hazard determinations 
for Gaston County, North Carolina, and Incorporated Areas. FEMA is 
withdrawing the proposed notice for this county because Gaston County 
requires a revised flood map before it can move forward in the mapping 
process. FEMA intends to publish a Notice of Proposed Flood Hazard 
Determinations for Gaston County in the Federal Register followed by a 
notice in the affected community's local newspaper in the near future.

(Authority: 42 U.S.C. 4104; 44 CFR 67.4.)

Elizabeth Asche,
Assistant Administrator, Federal Insurance Directorate, Resilience,
