FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
44 CFR Part 67
[Docket No. FEMA-7195]
Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations
AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, FEMA.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Technical information or comments are requested on the
proposed base (1% annual chance) flood elevations and proposed base
flood elevation modifications for the communities listed below. The
base flood elevations are the basis for the floodplain management
measures that the 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: The comment period is ninety (90) days following the second
publication of this proposed rule in a newspaper of local circulation
in each community.
ADDRESSES: The proposed 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 following
table.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Frederick H. Sharrocks Jr., Chief,
Hazard Identification Branch, Mitigation Directorate, 500 C Street SW.,
Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-2796.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA or Agency) proposes to make determinations of base flood
elevations and modified base flood elevations for each community listed
below, in accordance with section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection
Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
These proposed base flood and modified base flood 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
pursuant to policies established by other Federal, state or regional
entities. These proposed elevations are used to meet the floodplain
management requirements of the NFIP and are also used to calculate the
appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after
these elevations are made final, and for the contents in these
buildings.
National Environmental Policy Act
This proposed 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 Executive Associate Director, Mitigation Directorate, certifies
that this proposed rule is exempt from the requirements of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act because proposed 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 National Flood Insurance Program. As a result, a
regulatory flexibility analysis has not 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 proposed rule involves no policies that have federalism
implications under Executive Order 12612, Federalism, dated October 26,
1987.
Executive Order 12778, Civil Justice Reform
This proposed rule meets the applicable standards of section
2(b)(2) of Executive Order 12778.
List of Subjects in 44 CFR Part 67
