SUBJECT CATEGORY: Final Flood Elevation Determinations
DOCUMENT SUMMARY: Base (1% annual chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) and modified BFEs are made final for the communities listed below. The BFEs and modified BFEs 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).
SUMMARY: North Carolina,
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 FIRM available at the address cited below for each community.
The BFEs and modified BFEs 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.
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 final or
modified BFEs 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.
