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 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
makes the final determinations listed below of 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 of the
Emergency Preparedness and Response Directorate 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

Consideration. No environmental impact assessment has been prepared.

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