    44 CFR Part 67
    
    [Docket No. FEMA-7106]
    
     
    
    Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations
    
    AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
    
    ACTION: Proposed rule.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    SUMMARY: Technical information or comments are requested on the 
    proposed base (100-year) flood elevations and proposed base (100-year) 
    flood elevation modifications for the communities listed below. The 
    base (100-year) flood elevations and modified base (100-year) 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.
    
    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 
    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 112612, 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.
