FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
44 CFR Part 67
Final Flood Elevation Determinations
AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Base (1% annual chance) flood elevations and modified base
flood elevations are made final for the communities listed below. The
base flood elevations and modified base flood elevations are the basis
for the floodplain management measures that
[[Page 60712]]
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 base flood elevations and modified base flood elevations
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.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Matthew B. Miller, P.E., Chief,
Hazards Study Branch, Mitigation Directorate, 500 C Street SW.,
Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-3461, or (e-mail) matt.miller@fema.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
makes final determinations listed below of base flood elevations and
modified base flood elevations for each community listed. The proposed
base flood elevations and proposed modified base flood elevations 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 base flood elevations and proposed modified base flood
elevations 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 base flood elevations and modified base flood elevations 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.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Associate Director for Mitigation certifies that this rule is
exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act because
final or modified base flood elevations are required by the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and are required to
establish and maintain community eligibility in the NFIP. No regulatory
flexibility analysis has been prepared.

criteria of Section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866 of September 30,
1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, 58 FR 51735.
