modified base flood elevations for each community listed. The proposed
base flood elevations and proposed modified base flood elevations were

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.

areas in accordance with 44 CFR Part 60.

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.

Part 10, Environmental Consideration. No environmental impact

establish and maintain community eligibility in the NFIP. No regulatory
flexibility analysis has been prepared.
