FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
44 CFR Part 65
[Docket No. FEMA-7121]
Changes in Flood Elevation Determinations
AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
ACTION: Interim rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This interim rule lists communities where modification of the
base (100-year) flood elevations is appropriate because of new
scientific or technical data. New flood insurance premium rates will be
calculated from the modified base (100-year) flood elevations for new
buildings and their contents.
DATES: These modified base flood elevations are currently in effect on
the dates listed in the table and revise the Flood Insurance Rate
Map(s) in effect prior to this determination for each listed community.
From the date of the second publication of these changes in a
newspaper of local circulation, any person has ninety (90) days in
which to request through the community that the Associate Director,
Mitigation Directorate, reconsider the changes. The modified elevations
may be changed during the 90-day period.
ADDRESSES: The modified base (100-year) 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 following table.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael K. Buckley, P.E., Chief,
Hazard Identification Branch, Mitigation Directorate, 500 C Street, SW,
Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-2756.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The modified base (100-year) flood
elevations are not listed for each community in this interim rule.
However, the address of the Chief Executive Officer of the community
where the modified base (100-year) flood elevation determinations are
available for inspection is provided.
Any request for reconsideration must be based upon knowledge of
changed conditions, or upon new scientific or technical data.
The modifications are made pursuant to Section 201 of the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are in accordance
with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.,
and with 44 CFR Part 65.
For rating purposes, the currently effective community number is
shown and must be used for all new policies and renewals.
The modified base (100-year) flood elevations are the basis for the
floodplain management measures that the community is required to either
adopt or to show evidence of being already in effect in order to
qualify or to remain qualified for participation in the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP).
These modified elevations, 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 [[Page 4100]]
pursuant to policies established by other Federal, State, or regional
entities.
The changes in base flood elevations are in accordance with 44 CFR
65.4.
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, Mitigation Directorate, certifies that
this rule is exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act because modified base (100-year) 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 12612, Federalism
This rule involves no policies that have federalism implications
under Executive Order 12612, Federalism, dated October 26, 1987.
Executive Order 12778, Civil Justice Reform
This rule meets the applicable standards of Section 2(b)(2) of
Executive Order 12778.
