FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
44 CFR Part 64
[Docket No. FEMA-7720]
List of Communities Eligible for the Sale of Flood Insurance
AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This rule identifies communities participating in the National
Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). These communities have applied to the
program and have agreed to enact certain floodplain management
measures. The communities' participation in the program authorizes the
sale of flood insurance to owners of property located in the
communities listed.
EFFECTIVE DATES: The dates listed in the third column of the table.
ADDRESSES: Flood insurance policies for property located in the
communities listed can be obtained from any licensed property insurance
agent or broker serving the eligible community, or from the NFIP at:
Post Office Box 6464, Rockville, MD 20849, (800) 638-6620.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert F. Shea, Jr., Division
Director,
[[Page 62599]]
Program Support Division, Mitigation Directorate, 500 C Street SW.,
room 417, Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-3619.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP enables property owners to purchase
flood insurance which is generally not otherwise available. In return,
communities agree to adopt and administer local floodplain management
measures aimed at protecting lives and new construction from future
flooding. Since the communities on the attached list have recently
entered the NFIP, subsidized flood insurance is now available for
property in the community.
In addition, the Associate Director of the Federal Emergency
Management Agency has identified the special flood hazard areas in some
of these communities by publishing a Flood Hazard Boundary Map (FHBM)
or Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). The date of the flood map, if one
has been published, is indicated in the fourth column of the table. In
the communities listed where a flood map has been published, section
102 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, 42 U.S.C.
4012(a), requires the purchase of flood insurance as a condition of
Federal or federally related financial assistance for acquisition or
construction of buildings in the special flood hazard areas shown on
the map.
The Associate Director finds that the delayed effective dates would
be contrary to the public interest. The Associate Director also finds
that notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are
impracticable and unnecessary.
National Environmental Policy Act. This rule is categorically
excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10, Environmental
Considerations. No environmental impact assessment has been prepared.
Regulatory Flexibility Act. The Associate Director certifies that
this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities in accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility
Act, 5 U. S. C. 601 et seq., because the rule creates no additional
burden, but lists those communities eligible for the sale of flood
insurance.
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.
Paperwork Reduction Act. This rule does not involve any collection
of information for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.
Executive Order 12612, Federalism. This rule involves no policies
that have federalism implications under Executive Order 12612,
Federalism, October 26, 1987, 3 CFR, 1987 Comp., p. 252.
Executive Order 12778, Civil Justice Reform. This rule meets the
applicable standards of section 2(b)(2) of Executive Order 12778,
October 25, 1991, 56 FR 55195, 3 CFR, 1991 Comp., p. 309.
