ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Base (1% annual chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) and modified
BFEs are made final for the communities listed below. The BFEs and
modified BFEs are the basis for the floodplain management measures that
each community is required either to adopt or to show evidence of being
already in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for
participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
EFFECTIVE DATE: The date of issuance of the Flood Insurance Rate Map
(FIRM) showing BFEs and modified BFEs for each community. This date may
be obtained by contacting the office where the FIRM is available for
inspection as indicated in the table below.
ADDRESSES: The final BFEs for each community are available for
inspection at the office of the Chief Executive Officer of each
community. The respective addresses are listed in the table below.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mary Jean Pajak, Federal Emergency
Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-
2831.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
makes the final determinations listed below of BFEs and modified BFEs
for each community listed. The proposed BFEs and proposed modified BFEs
were published in newspapers of local circulation and an opportunity
for the community or individuals to appeal the proposed determinations
to or through the community was provided for a period of ninety (90)
days. The proposed BFEs and proposed modified BFEs were also published
in the Federal Register.
This final rule is issued in accordance with section 110 of the
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR part
67.
FEMA has developed criteria for floodplain management in floodprone
areas in accordance with 44 CFR part 60.
Interested lessees and owners of real property are encouraged to
review the proof Flood Insurance Study and FIRM available at the
address cited below for each community.
The BFEs and modified BFEs are made final in the communities listed
below. Elevations at selected locations in each community are shown.
National Environmental Policy Act. This rule is categorically
excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10, Environmental
Consideration. No environmental impact assessment has been prepared.

and maintain community eligibility in the NFIP. No regulatory
flexibility analysis has been prepared.
