FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY

44 CFR Part 65

[Docket No. FEMA-7104]

 

Changes in Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, FEMA.

ACTION: Interim rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This interim rule lists communities where modification of the 
base (100-year) flood elevations is appropriate because of new 
scientific or technical data. New flood insurance premium rates will be 
calculated from the modified base (100-year) flood elevations for new 
buildings and their contents.

DATES: These modified base flood elevations are currently in effect on 
the dates listed in the table and revise the Flood Insurance Rate 
Map(s) (FIRMs) in effect prior to this determination for each listed 
community.
    From the date of the second publication of these changes in a 
newspaper of local circulation, any person has ninety (90) days in 
which to request through the community that the Associate Director 
reconsider the changes. The modified elevations may be changed during 
the 90-day period.

ADDRESSES: The modified 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 modified base (100-year) flood 
elevations are not listed for each community in this interim rule. 
However, the address of the Chief Executive Officer of the community 
where the modified base flood elevation determinations are available 
for inspection is provided.
    Any request for reconsideration must be based upon knowledge of 
changed conditions, or upon new scientific or technical data.
    The modifications are made pursuant to section 201 of the Flood 
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are in accordance 
with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq., 
and with 44 CFR part 65.
    For rating purposes, the currently effective community number is 
shown and must be used for all new policies and renewals.
    The modified base (100-year) flood elevations are the basis for the 
floodplain management measures that the community is required to either 
adopt or to show evidence of being already in effect in order to 
qualify or to remain qualified for participation in the National Flood 
Insurance Program.
    These modified 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.
    The changes in base flood elevations are in accordance with 44 CFR 
65.4.
    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.
    Regulatory Flexibility Act. The Associate Director, Mitigation 
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 National Flood Insurance Program. No regulatory flexibility 
analysis has been prepared.
    Regulatory Classification. This interim 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 rule involves no policies 
that have federalism implications under Executive Order 12612, 
Federalism, dated October 26, 1987.
    Executive Order 12778, Civil Justice Reform. This rule meets the 
applicable standards of section 2(b)(2) of Executive Order 12778.
