FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
44 CFR Part 65
Docket No. FEMA-P-7618
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 (1-percent-annual-chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) is appropriate
because of new scientific or technical data. New flood insurance
premium rates will be calculated from the modified BFEs for new
buildings and their contents.
DATES: These modified BFEs are currently in effect on the dates listed
in the table below and revise the Flood Insurance Rate Map(s) in effect
prior to this determination for the listed communities.
From the date of the second publication of these changes in a
newspaper of local circulation, any person has 90 days in which to
request through the community that the Administrator for Federal
Insurance and Mitigation Administration reconsider the changes. The
modified BFEs may be changed during the 90-day period.
ADDRESSES: The modified BFEs for each community are available for
inspection
[[Page 70697]]
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, Chief, Hazards
Study Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, 500 C
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-3461 or (e-mail)
matt.miller@fema.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The modified BFEs are not listed for each
community in this interim rule. However, the address of the Chief
Executive Officer of the community where the modified BFE
determinations are available for inspection is provided.
Any request for reconsideration must be based on knowledge of
changed conditions or 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 BFEs 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 BFEs, 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.
The changes in BFEs 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 Administrator for Federal Insurance and Mitigation
Administration certifies that this rule is exempt from the requirements
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act because modified BFEs 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 interim 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.
