    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 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 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 
    below.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael K. Buckley, P.E., Chief, 
    Hazard Identification Branch, Mitigation Directorate, 500 C Street, 
    SW., Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-2756.
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency 
    (FEMA or 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.
        The Agency 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 Flood Insurance Rate Map 
    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, Mitigation Directorate, 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 National Flood 
    Insurance Program. 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.

    under Executive Order 12612, Federalism, dated October 26, 1987.
