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.
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 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.
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.
