FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
44 CFR Part 65
Changes in Flood Elevation Determinations
AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Modified Base (1-percent-annual-chance) Flood Elevations
(BFEs) are finalized for the communities listed below. These modified
elevations will be used to calculate flood insurance premium rates for
new buildings and their contents.
EFFECTIVE DATES: The effective dates for these modified BFEs are
indicated on the following table and revise the Flood Insurance Rate
Maps in effect for the listed communities prior to this date.
ADDRESSES: The modified BFEs 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 below.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael M. Grimm, Acting Chief,
Hazards Study Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration,
FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-2878, or (e-
mail) Michael.Grimm@fema.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA makes the final determinations listed
below of the 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
Administrator, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration has
resolved any appeals resulting from this notification.
The modified BFEs are not listed for each community in this notice.
However, this rule includes the address of the Chief Executive Officer
of the community where the modified BFEs determinations are available
for inspection.
The modifications are made pursuant to section 206 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 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 modified 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.
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, 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 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.
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.
List of Subjects in 44 CFR Part 65
Flood insurance, Floodplains, Reporting and Recordkeeping
requirements.
Accordingly, 44 CFR Part 65 is amended to read as follows:
