DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 64

[Docket No. FEMA-7770]


List of Communities Eligible for the Sale of Flood Insurance

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, Emergency Preparedness and 
Response Directorate, Department of Homeland Security.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule identifies communities participating in the National 
Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and suspended from the NFIP. These 
communities have applied to the program and have agreed to enact 
certain floodplain management measures. The communities' participation 
in the program authorizes the sale of flood insurance to owners of 
property located in the communities listed.

EFFECTIVE DATES: The dates listed under the column headed Effective 
Date of Eligibility.

ADDRESSES: Flood insurance policies for property located in the 
communities listed can be obtained from any licensed property insurance 
agent or broker serving the eligible community, or from the NFIP at: 
(800) 638-6620.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mike Grimm, Mitigation Division, 500 C 
Street, SW.; Room 412, Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-2878.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP enables property owners to purchase 
flood insurance which is generally not otherwise available. In return, 
communities agree to adopt and administer local floodplain management 
measures aimed at protecting lives and new construction from future 
flooding. Since the communities on the attached list have recently 
entered the NFIP, subsidized flood insurance is now available for 
property in the community.
    In addition, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has identified 
the special flood hazard areas in some of these communities by 
publishing a Flood Hazard Boundary Map (FHBM) or Flood Insurance Rate 
Map (FIRM). The date of the flood map, if one has been published, is 
indicated in the fourth column of the table. In the communities listed 
where a flood map has been published, Section 202 of the Flood Disaster 
Protection Act of 1973, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4016(a), requires the 
purchase of flood insurance as a condition of Federal or federally 
related financial assistance for acquisition or construction of 
buildings in the special flood hazard areas shown on the map.
    The Administrator finds that delayed effective dates would be 
contrary to the public interest and that notice and public procedure 
under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and unnecessary.
    National Environmental Policy Act. This rule is categorically 
excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR Part 10, Environmental 
Considerations. No environmental impact assessment has been prepared.
    Regulatory Flexibility Act. The Administrator certifies that this 
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities in accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility 
Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., because the rule creates no additional 
burden, but lists those communities eligible for the sale of flood 
insurance.
    Regulatory Classification. This final 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.
    Paperwork Reduction Act. This rule does not involve any collection 
of information for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 
3501 et seq.
    Executive Order 12612, Federalism. This rule involves no policies 
that have federalism implications under Executive Order 12612, 
Federalism, October 26, 1987, 3 CFR, 1987 Comp., p. 252.
    Executive Order 12778, Civil Justice Reform. This rule meets the 
applicable standards of section 2(b)(2) of Executive Order 12778, 
October 25, 1991, 56 FR 55195, 3 CFR, 1991 Comp., p. 309.
