On July 20, 2020, FEMA published in the Federal Register a final rule revising the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) regulations to codify certain provisions of the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 and the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act of 2014, and to clarify certain existing NFIP rules relating to NFIP operations and the Standard Flood Insurance Policy. This document provides corrections to information provided in a table.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
On July 20, 2020, FEMA published in the Federal Register a final rule revising the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) regulations to codify certain provisions of the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 and the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act of 2014, and to clarify certain existing NFIP rules relating to NFIP operations and the Standard Flood Insurance Policy. In 44 CFR 61.6(a), Table 1, "Maximum Amounts of Coverage Available," contained two inadvertently placed asterisks next to "Non-Residential Building" in the "Building Coverage" heading. The "**" denotes that the maximum amount of coverage for Non-Residential Buildings in Alaska, Guam, and Hawaii is $150,000.00. However, the presence of "**" was an error, as 42 U.S.C. 4013 contains no such maximum. Accordingly, this correction removes the incorrectly-placed "**".
List of Subjects in 44 CFR Part 61
Flood insurance, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.
For the reasons set forth above, 44 CFR part 61 is corrected by making the following correcting amendment:
PART 61-INSURANCE COVERAGE AND RATES
1. The authority citation for part 61 continues to read as follows:
Authority:
42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.; 6 U.S.C. 101 et seq.
2. In §?61.6, amend table 1 to paragraph (a) under the heading "Building Coverage" by revising the entry "Non-Residential Building" to read as follows:
§?61.6 Maximum amounts of coverage available.
[top] (a) * * *
| Occupancy | Emergency program | Amount | Regular program | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Building Coverage | ||||
| * * * * * * * | ||||
| Non-Residential Building | 100,000 | $500,000 | ||
| * * * * * * * | ||||
| 1 ?This Table provides the maximum coverage amounts available under the Emergency Program and the Regular Program, and the columns cannot be aggregated to exceed the limits in the Regular Program, which are established by statute. The aggregate limits for building coverage are the maximum coverage amounts allowed by statute for each building included in the relevant Occupancy Category. | ||||
