FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
44 CFR Part 67
[Docket No. FEMA-7145]
Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations
AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management agency (FEMA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Technical information or comments are requested on the
proposed base (1% annual chance) flood elevations and proposed base
flood elevation modifications for the communities listed below. The
base flood elevations and modified base flood elevations are the basis
for the floodplain management measures that the 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).
DATES: The comment period is ninety (90) days following the second
publication of this proposed rule in a newspaper of local circulation
in each community.
ADDRESSES: The proposed 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 following
table.

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
proposes to make determinations of base flood elevations and modified
base flood elevations for each community listed below, in accordance
with Section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42
U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
These proposed base flood and modified base flood elevations,
together with the floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR
60.3, are the minimum that are required. They should not be construed
to mean that the community must change any existing ordinances that are
more stringent in their floodplain management requirements. The
community may at any time enact stricter requirements of its own, or
pursuant to policies established by other Federal, State, or regional
entities. These proposed elevations are used to meet the floodplain
management requirements of the NFIP and are also used to calculate the
appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after
these elevations are made final, and for the contents in these
buildings.
National Environmental Policy Act. This proposed 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 proposed rule is exempt from the
requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act because proposed 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 proposed 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 proposed rule involves no
policies that have federalism implications under Executive Order 12612,
Federalism, dated October 26, 1987.
Executive Order 12778, Civil Justice Reform. This proposed rule
meets the applicable standards of Section 2(b)(2) of Executive Order
12778.
List of Subjects in 44 CFR Part 67
