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).
DATES: 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 base flood elevations 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
makes the final determinations listed below for the BFEs and 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.
This final rule is issued in accordance with Section 110 of the
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and 44 CFR Part 67.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has developed criteria for
floodplain management in floodprone areas in accordance with 44 CFR

The BFEs and modified BFEs are made final in the communities listed

excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR Part 10, Environmental
Consideration. No environmental impact assessment has been prepared.

and are required to establish and maintain community eligibility in the
NFIP. No regulatory flexibility analysis has been prepared.
