    AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
    
    ACTION: Final rule.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    SUMMARY: Base (1% annual chance) flood elevations and modified base 
    flood elevations are made final for the communities listed below. The 
    base flood elevations and modified base flood elevations are the basis 
    for the floodplain management measures that
    
    [[Page 60712]]
    
    each 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).
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: The date of issuance of the Flood Insurance Rate Map 
    (FIRM) showing base flood elevations and modified base flood elevations 
    for each community. This date may be obtained by contacting the office 
    where the FIRM is available for inspection as indicated in 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 
    below.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Matthew B. Miller, P.E., Chief, 
    Hazards Study Branch, Mitigation Directorate, 500 C Street SW., 
    Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-3461, or (e-mail) matt.miller@fema.gov.
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency 
    makes final determinations listed below of base flood elevations and 
    modified base flood elevations for each community listed. The proposed 
    base flood elevations and proposed modified base 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 
    Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR Part 
    67.
        FEMA has developed criteria for floodplain management in floodprone 
    areas in accordance with 44 CFR Part 60.
        Interested lessees and owners of real property are encouraged to 
    review the proof Flood Insurance Study and FIRM available at the 
    address cited below for each community.
        The base flood elevations and modified base flood elevations are 
    made final in the communities listed below. Elevations at selected 
    locations in each community are shown.
    
    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 Associate Director for Mitigation certifies that this rule is 
    exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act because 
    final 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 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.
