FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
44 CFR Part 65


Changes in Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Modified base (100-year) flood elevations are finalized for 
the communities listed below. These modified elevations will be used to 
calculate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and their 
contents.

EFFECTIVE DATES: The effective dates for these modified base (100-year) 
flood elevations are indicated on the following table and revise the 
Flood Insurance Rate Map(s) in effect for each listed community prior 
to this date.

[[Page 4102]] 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 Federal Emergency Management Agency 
makes the final determinations listed below of the final determinations 
of modified base (100-year) flood elevations 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 Associate Director has resolved any appeals resulting from this 
notification.
    The modified base (100-year) flood elevations are not listed for 
each community in this notice. However, this rule includes the address 
of the Chief Executive Officer of the community where the modified base 
(100-year) flood elevation determinations are available for inspection.
    The modifications are made pursuant to Section 206 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 (NFIP).
    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.
    These modified 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.
    The changes in base (100-year) 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 (100-year) 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 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.
