DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
Federal Emergency Management Agency
44 CFR Part 67
Final Flood Elevation Determinations
AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On May 16, 2008, FEMA published in the Federal Register a
final rule that contained an erroneous table. This notice provides
corrections to that table, to be used in lieu of the information
published at 73 FR 28352. The table provided here represents the
flooding source, location of referenced elevation, modified elevation,
and communities affected for Cabarrus County and Incorporated Areas.
Specifically, it addresses flooding source Muddy Creek.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William R. Blanton, Jr., Chief,
Engineering Management Branch, Mitigation Directorate, Federal
Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,
(202) 646-3151 or (e-mail) bill.blanton@dhs.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) publishes final determinations of Base (1% annual-chance) Flood
Elevations (BFEs) and modified BFEs for communities participating in
the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), 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 final BFEs and modified BFEs, 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 final elevations
are used to meet the floodplain management requirements of the NFIP and
are also used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium
rates for new buildings built after these elevations are made final,
and for the contents in these buildings.
Correction
In the final rule published at 73 FR 28352, in the May 16, 2008,
issue of the Federal Register, FEMA published a table under the
authority of 44 CFR 67.4. The table, entitled ``Cabarrus County and
Incorporated Areas'' addressed flooding source Muddy Creek. That table
contained inaccurate information as to the location of referenced
elevation, modified elevation in feet, or communities affected for
these flooding sources. In this notice, FEMA is publishing a table
containing the accurate information, to address these prior errors. The
information provided below should be used in lieu of that previously
published.
