DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2021-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-2180]

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).

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before March 21, 2022.

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-2180, 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 protected].

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 protected]; 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.
    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.

[Docket No. FAA-2013-0550]

Airworthiness Criteria: Proposed Airship Design Criteria for
Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Model LMZ1M Airship

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of availability of proposed design criteria and request
for comments.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of and requests
comments on the proposed design criteria for the Lockheed Martin
Aeronautics model LMZ1M airship. On March 12, 2012 Lockheed Martin
Aeronautics submitted an application for type certification for the
model LMZ1M. The LMZ1M is a manned cargo lifting hybrid airship
incorporating a number of advanced features. The Hybrid Certification
Criteria (HCC) for Transport Category Hybrid Airships, Lockheed Martin
Aeronautics Company Document Number 1008D0122 Rev. C dated January 31,
2013 was specifically developed for the LMZ1M.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 25, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    Interested persons are invited to comment on the proposed design
criteria by submitting such written data, views, or arguments as they
may desire. Commenters should identify the proposed design criteria on
the Lockheed Martin Aeronautics model LMZ1M airship and submit
comments, in duplicate, to the address specified above. All
communications received on or before the closing date for comments will
be considered by the Small Airplane Directorate before issuing the
final design criteria.

Background

    On March 12, 2012 Lockheed Martin Aeronautics submitted an
application for type certification for the model LMZ1M airship. The
LMZ1M is a hybrid airship incorporating a number of advance features.
The tri-lobed airship envelope has 1,285,000 cubic foot displacement
incorporating four thrusters to allow thrust vectoring. Thrust
vectoring and control surface motions are controlled through a vehicle
management system using electronic fly by-wire controls. Rather than
conventional landing gear, the LMZ1M uses air cushion landing system
(ACLS) for landing and ground operations. The LMZ1M is a manned cargo
lifting hybrid airship with a gondola accommodating eight passengers
and two crewmembers and a large cargo bay, and external load
capabilities.

Proposed Design Criteria

Applicable Airworthiness Criteria Under 14 CFR part 21

    The only applicable requirement for airship certification in the
United States is FAA document ``FAA-P-8110-2, Airship Design Criteria
(ADC),'' dated November 2, 1987 with Change 1, dated July 24, 1992 and
Change 2, dated July 24, 1992. This document has been the basis of
certification of airships in the United States for many years. The ADC
is inadequate for an aircraft with the size and advanced features of
the LMZ1M. Given the size and weight of the LMZ1M and in accordance
with 14 CFR Part 21.17(b), the level of safety should be commensurate
with other transport category aircraft. The ``Hybrid Certification
Criteria (HCC) for Transport Category Hybrid Airships,'' Lockheed
Martin Aeronautics Company Document Number 1008D0122 Rev. C dated
January 31, 2013 was specifically developed for the LMZ1M. This
criteria is based on ``FAA P-8110-2, Airship Design Criteria (ADC),''
the ``Transport Airship Requirements (TAR)'', dated March 2000, 14 CFR
Part 29--Airworthiness Standards: Transport Category Rotorcraft and to
a lesser extent 14 CFR Parts 23, 25, 33 and 35.

Certification Basis

    The Hybrid Certification Criteria (HCC) for Transport Category
Hybrid Airships, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company Document Number
1008D0122 Rev. C dated January 31, 2013.

    Issued in Kansas City, Missouri, on May 17, 2013.
