DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
Federal Emergency Management Agency
44 CFR Part 67
[Docket No. FEMA-P-7907]

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Department of
Homeland Security.
ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Technical information or comments are requested on the
proposed Base (1% annual-chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) and proposed
BFE modifications for the communities listed below. The BFEs and
modified BFEs are the basis for the floodplain management measures that
the 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).

DATES: The comment period is ninety (90) days following the second
publication of this proposed rule in a newspaper of local circulation
in each community.

ADDRESSES: The proposed 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.

Identification Section, Federal

Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472,
(202) 646-2903.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
makes the final determinations listed below for the modified BFEs for
each community listed. These modified elevations have been published in
newspapers of local circulation and ninety (90) days have elapsed since
that publication. The Mitigation Division Director has resolved any
appeals resulting from this notification.
These proposed BFEs and modified BFEs, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are
required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must
change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own, or pursuant to policies established
by other Federal, State, or regional entities. These proposed
elevations are used to meet the floodplain management requirements of
the NFIP and are also used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance
premium rates for new buildings built after these elevations are made
final, and for the contents in these buildings.
National Environmental Policy Act. This proposed rule is
categorically excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10,
Environmental Consideration. No environmental impact assessment has
been prepared.
Regulatory Flexibility Act. The Mitigation Division Director
certifies that this rule is exempt from the requirements of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act because modified base flood elevations are
required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105,
and are required to maintain community eligibility in the NFIP. No
regulatory flexibility analysis has been prepared.
Regulatory Classification. This proposed rule is not a significant
regulatory action under the criteria of Section 3(f) of Executive Order
12866 of September 30, 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, 58 FR 51735.
Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This rule involves no policies
that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132.
Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This rule meets the
applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.
