    FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
    
    44 CFR Part 64
    
    [Docket No. FEMA-7599]
    
     
    
    List of Communities Eligible for the Sale of Flood Insurance
    
    AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
    
    ACTION: Final rule.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    SUMMARY: This rule identifies communities participating in the National 
    Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). These communities have applied to the 
    program and have agreed to enact certain floodplain management 
    measures. The communities' participation in the program authorizes the 
    sale of flood insurance to owners of property located in the 
    communities listed.
    
    EFFECTIVE DATES: The dates listed in the third column of the table.
    
    ADDRESSES: Flood insurance policies for property located in the 
    communities listed can be obtained from any licensed property insurance 
    agent or broker serving the eligible community, or from the NFIP at: 
    Post Office Box 6464, Rockville, MD 20849, (800) 638-6620.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert F. Shea, Jr., Division 
    Director, Program Implementation Division, Mitigation Directorate, 500 
    C Street, SW., room 417, Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-3619.
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP enables property owners to purchase 
    flood insurance which is generally not otherwise available. In return, 
    communities agree to adopt and administer local floodplain management 
    measures aimed at protecting lives and new construction from future 
    flooding. Since the communities on the attached list have recently 
    entered the NFIP, subsidized flood insurance is now available for 
    property in the community.
        In addition, the Director of the Federal Emergency Management 
    Agency has identified the special flood hazard areas in some of these 
    communities by publishing a Flood Hazard Boundary Map (FHBM) or Flood 
    Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). The date of the flood map, if one has been 
    published, is indicated in the fourth column of the table. In the 
    communities listed where a flood map has been published, Section 102 of 
    the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 
    4012(a), requires the purchase of flood insurance as a condition of 
    Federal or federally related financial assistance for acquisition or 
    construction of buildings in the special flood hazard areas shown on 
    the map.
        The Director finds that the delayed effective dates would be 
    contrary to the public interest. The Director also finds that notice 
    and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and 
    unnecessary.
    
    National Environmental Policy Act
    
        This rule is categorically excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR 
    Part 10, Environmental Considerations. No environmental impact 
    assessment has been prepared.
    
    Regulatory Flexibility Act
    
        The Associate Director certifies that this rule will not have a 
    significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities 
    in accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et 
    seq., because the rule creates no additional burden, but lists those 
    communities eligible for the sale of flood insurance.
    
    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.
    
    Paperwork Reduction Act
    
        This rule does not involve any collection of information for 
    purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
    
    Executive Order 12612, Federalism
    
        This rule involves no policies that have federalism implications 
    under Executive Order 12612, Federalism, October 26, 1987, 3 CFR, 1987 
    Comp., p. 252.
    
    Executive Order 12778, Civil Justice Reform

    Executive Order 12778, October 25, 1991, 56 FR 55195, 3 CFR, 1991 
    Comp., p. 309.
