View Rule

This rule would rescind certain provisions in the July 11, 2024 final rule titled Updates to Floodplain Management and Protection of Wetlands Regulations to Implement the Federal Flood Risk Management Standard.  FEMA had issued this rule due to Executive Order 14030, which reinstated the Federal Flood Risk Management Standard (FFRMS).  On January 20, 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order 14148, Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.  This Executive Order rescinded Executive Order 14030 and updated the FFRMS by eliminating the standard and the nature-based solutions requirement.  FEMA stopped implementation of the FFRMS on March 25, 2025, consistent with Executive Order 14148.  FEMA will undertake initiate rulemaking to remove the specific requirements of Executive Order 14030 from the rule.
