44 CFR Part 67
[Docket No. FEMA-D-7808]
Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations; Correction
AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: Proposed rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document corrects the table to a proposed rule published
in the Federal Register of July 25, 2007. This correction clarifies the
table representing the flooding source(s), location of referenced
elevation, the effective and modified elevation in feet and the
communities affected for Henderson County, North Carolina, and
Incorporated Areas; specifically, for flooding source ``Boylston
Creek,'' than was previously published.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William R. Blanton, Jr., Engineering
Management Branch, Mitigation Directorate, Federal Emergency Management
Agency, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-2903.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) publishes proposed determinations of Base (1-percent-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 proposed 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 proposed BFEs 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 proposed rule FR Doc. 07-3615, beginning on page 40791 in the
issue of July 25, 2007, make the following corrections, in the table
published under the authority of 44 CFR 67.4. On page 40791, in Sec.
67.4, in the table with center heading Henderson County, North
Carolina, and Incorporated Areas, the flooding source, location of
referenced elevation, the effective and modified elevation in feet and
the communities affected for flooding source ``Boylston Creek'', needs
to be corrected to read as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Elevation in feet

feet (NAVD)
