DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2021-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-2168]

Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Homeland
Security.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on proposed flood hazard
determinations, which may include additions or modifications of any
Base Flood Elevation (BFE), base flood depth, Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA) boundary or zone designation, or regulatory floodway on the
Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and where applicable, in the
supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for the communities
listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to seek
general information and comment regarding the preliminary FIRM, and
where applicable, the FIS report that the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) has provided to the affected communities. The FIRM and
FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management measures that the
community is required either to adopt or to show evidence of having in
effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, the FIRM and FIS
report, once effective, will be used by insurance agents and others to
calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings
and the contents of those buildings.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before December 27, 2021.

ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, the FIS report
for each community are available for inspection at both the online
location https://hazards.fema.gov/femaportal/prelimdownload and the
respective Community Map Repository address listed in the tables below.
Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS report for each
community are accessible online through the FEMA Map Service Center at
https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-2168, to
Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering Services Branch, Federal Insurance
and Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 400

C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Mapping and Insurance
eXchange (FMIX) online at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community listed below, 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 flood hazard determinations, 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 flood
hazard determinations are used to meet the floodplain management
requirements of the NFIP and are used to calculate the appropriate
flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after the FIRM
and FIS report become effective.
    The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are
provided in the tables below. Any request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard information shown on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS
report that satisfies the data requirements outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b)
is considered an appeal. Comments unrelated to the flood hazard
determinations also will be considered before the FIRM and FIS report
become effective.
    Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to
communities in support of the appeal resolution process. SRPs are
independent panels of experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and other
pertinent sciences established to review conflicting scientific and
technical data and provide recommendations for resolution. Use of the
SRP only may be exercised after FEMA and local communities have been
engaged in a collaborative consultation process for at least 60 days
without a mutually acceptable resolution of an appeal. Additional
information regarding the SRP process can be found online at https://www.floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_overview.pdf.
    The watersheds and/or communities affected are listed in the tables
below. The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, FIS report for each
community are available for inspection at both the online location
https://hazards.fema.gov/femaportal/prelimdownload and the respective
Community Map Repository address listed in the tables. For communities
with multiple ongoing Preliminary studies, the studies can be
identified by the unique project number and Preliminary FIRM date
listed in the tables. Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS
report for each community are accessible online through the FEMA Map
Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.

MEMORANDUM

SUBJECT: 	Columbia Falls, Kalispell and Libby Motor Vehicle Regional Emissions Analysis

FROM:	James Hou
		Environmental Engineer

TO: 		File

According to the Limited Maintenance Plan (LMP) Option for Moderate PM10 Nonattainment Areas (NAA) memo, in order to qualify for the LMP option, "The final criterion is related to mobile source emissions. The area should expect only limited growth in on-road motor vehicle PM10 emissions (including fugitive dust) and should have passed a motor vehicle regional emissions analysis test. It is important to consider the impact of future transportation growth in the LMP, since the level of PM-10 emissions (especially from fugitive dust) is related to the level of growth in vehicle miles traveled (VMT).

The following methodology can be found in Attachment B of the LMP Option memo, and is used to determine whether increased emissions from on-road mobile sources could, in the next 10 years, increase concentrations in the area and threaten the assumption of maintenance that underlies the LMP policy.

The equation set forth is:
                         DV + (VMTpi * DVmv) < MOS
Where:
      DV = design value in μg/m3
      VMTpi = projected increase in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) over the next 10 years
      DVmv = product of the design value and the fraction of the inventory represented by on-road mobile sources in the attainment year; and
      MOS = margin of safety for the relevant PM10 standard for a given area: 40 μg/m3 for the
      annual standard or 98 μg/m3 for the 24-hour standard.

Columbia Falls Motor Vehicle Regional Emissions Analysis Calculation:
Utilizing a DV of 67; a projected 31.04% VMT increase; and a 0.35 fraction of the inventory represented by on-road mobile sources in the attainment year the results are as follows:

                       67+ (0.3104 * (67)(0.35)) <= 98
                              OR, as calculated:
                                  74.3 <= 98

Based on the above methodology, as outlined in the LMP option memo, the projected 31.04% VMT increase does not indicate that increased emissions from on-road mobile source could in the Columbia Falls PM10 NAAA, in the next 10 years, increase concentrations in the area and threaten the assumption of maintenance.

Kalispell Motor Vehicle Regional Emissions Analysis Calculation:
Utilizing a DV of 89; a projected 29.01% VMT increase; and a 0.80 fraction of the inventory represented by on-road mobile sources in the attainment year the results are as follows:

                       89+ (0.2901 * (89)(0.80)) <= 124
                              OR, as calculated:
                                 109.7 <= 124

Based on the above methodology, as outlined in the LMP option memo, the projected 29.01% VMT increase does not indicate that increased emissions from on-road mobile source could in the Kalispell PM10 NAA, in the next 10 years, increase concentrations in the area and threaten the assumption of maintenance.

Libby Motor Vehicle Regional Emissions Analysis Calculation:
Utilizing a DV of 92; a projected 11.56% VMT increase; and a 0.78 fraction of the inventory represented by on-road mobile sources in the attainment year the results are as follows:

                      92+ (0.1156 * (92)(0.78)) <= 139.9
                              OR, as calculated:
                                100.3 <= 139.9

Based on the above methodology, as outlined in the LMP option memo, the projected 11.56% VMT increase does not indicate that increased emissions from on-road mobile source in the Libby PM10 NAA could, in the next 10 years, increase concentrations in the area and threaten the assumption of maintenance.
