Public Comment Period Closing on Potential Changes to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) in Oregon

BOTHELL, Wash. – The public comment period on potential changes to the NFIP in the Oregon plan area will close on October 6, 2025. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) published a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and updated Draft Implementation Plan for NFIP– Endangered Species Act (ESA) Integration in Oregon in late August. Communities, agencies, and the public are encouraged to review and provide comment.

FEMA is analyzing potential changes to how the NFIP is implemented in the Oregon plan area to comply with the ESA and the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA). In collaboration with Oregon state agencies and interested parties, FEMA developed an updated Draft Implementation Plan for NFIP-ESA Integration. If approved, participating and future NFIP communities in the Oregon plan area would need to require no net loss standards for floodplain development. Over 200 communities in Oregon would be affected by these changes to the NFIP.  

Following the public review and comment period, FEMA will develop a Final EIS, identify a preferred alternative, and publish a Record of Decision to conclude the National Environmental Policy Act process. 

Public Comment Opportunities 

Comments must be submitted by October 6 in one of the following ways:    

The project website contains the Draft EIS, the updated Draft Implementation Plan, other documents, information about public meetings, a link to a virtual room, and ways to comment.

Two U.S. markets occasionally produce more electricity from coal than from natural gas

In-brief analysis

September 29, 2025

Two electricity markets in the Midwest still generate more electricity from coal than from natural gas in at least some months of the year: Southwest Power Pool (SPP) and the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO). We expect these two regions will generate more electricity from coal than from natural gas in some upcoming winter months, based on forecasts in our latest Short-Term Energy Outlook.

As recently as 2021 and 2022, both SPP and MISO were producing more electricity from coal than from natural gas in every month of the year. More recently, coal has exceeded natural gas only in the winter months, when demand for space heating and related demand for electricity increase. In MISO and SPP, we expect coal generation to exceed natural gas generation from December 2025 through February 2026.
