CFR Citation: 44 CFR Part 67
Docket ID: [Docket No. FEMA-P-7623]
NOTICE: PROPOSED RULES
ACTION: Flood elevation determinations:
DOCUMENT ACTION: Proposed rule.
SUBJECT CATEGORY: Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations
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.
DOCUMENT SUMMARY: Technical information or comments are requested on the proposed Base (1% annualchance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) and proposed BFE modifications for the communities listed below. The BFEs and modified BFEs 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).
SUMMARY: Various States,
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
The Federal Emergency Management Agency makes the final determinations listed below for the modified BFEs for each community listed. These modified elevations have been published in newspapers of local circulation and ninety (90) days have elapsed since that publication. The Mitigation Division Director of the Emergency Preparedness and Response Directorate, has resolved any appeals resulting from this notification. These proposed BFEs and modified BFEs, 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
[[Page 22661]]
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 Mitigation Division Director of the Emergency Preparedness and Response Directorate, certifies that this rule is exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act because modified base flood elevations are required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are required to 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 meets the applicable standards of section 2(b)(2) of Executive Order 12778.
