FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
44 CFR Part 67
Final Flood Elevation Determinations
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 DATES: 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: Matthew B. Miller, P.E., Chief,
Hazards Study Branch, Mitigation Directorate, 500 C Street SW.,
Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-3461.
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.
Executive Order 12612, Federalism
This rule involves no policies that have federalism implications
under Executive Order 12612, Federalism, dated October 26, 1987.
Executive Order 12778, Civil Justice Reform
This rule meets the applicable standards of section 2(b)(2) of
Executive Order 12778.
