to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP).

(FIRM) showing base flood elevations and modified base flood elevations
for each community. This date may be obtained by contacting the office
where the maps are available for inspection as indicated on 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

elevations and modified base flood elevations for each community

flood elevations were published in newspapers of local circulation and
an opportunity for the community or individuals to appeal the proposed
determinations to or through the community was provided for a period of
ninety (90) days. The proposed base flood elevations and proposed
modified base flood elevations were also published in the Federal
Register.
This final rule is issued in accordance with section 110 of the

[[Page 55038]]
Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR part 67.

Part 10, Environmental Consideration. No environmental impact
assessment has been prepared.

to establish and maintain community eligibility in the National Flood
Insurance Program. No regulatory flexibility analysis has been
