Title: Updates to Floodplain Management and Protection of Wetlands Regulations | |
Abstract:
Consistent with President Biden’s Executive Order on Climate Related Financial Risk (EO 14030), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) proposes to amend its regulations at 44 CFR part 9 Floodplain Management and Protection of Wetlands to incorporate amendments to Executive Order 11988 and the Federal Flood Risk Management Standard (FFRMS). The FFRMS is a flexible framework allowing agencies to choose among three approaches to define the floodplain and corresponding flood elevation requirements for federally funded projects. 44 CFR part 9 describes FEMA’s process under Executive Order 11988 for determining whether the proposed location for an action falls within a floodplain and how to complete the action in the floodplain, in light of the risk of flooding. The proposed rule would change how FEMA defines a floodplain with respect to certain actions. |
