FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
44 CFR Part 67


Final Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Base (1% annual chance) flood elevations and modified base 
flood elevations are made final for the communities listed below. The 
base flood elevations and modified base flood elevations 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).

EFFECTIVE DATE: The date of issuance of the Flood Insurance Rate Map 
(FIRM) showing base flood elevations and modified base flood elevations 
for each

[[Page 43683]]

community. This date may be obtained by contacting the office where the 
FIRM is available for inspection as indicated in the table below.

ADDRESSES: The final 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 table 
below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael K. Buckley, P.E., Chief, 
Hazard Identification Branch, Mitigation Directorate, 500 C Street 
S.W., Washington, D.C. 20472, (202) 646-2756.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency 
makes final determinations listed below of base flood elevations and 
modified base flood elevations for each community listed. The proposed 
base flood elevations and proposed modified base flood elevations were 
published in newspapers of local circulation and an opportunity for the 
community or individuals to appeal the proposed determinations to or 
through the community was provided for a period of ninety (90) days. 
The proposed base flood elevations and proposed modified base flood 
elevations were also published in the Federal Register.
    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.
    FEMA 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 base flood elevations and modified base flood elevations 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.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Acting Associate Director for Mitigation certifies that this 
rule is exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act 
because final or modified base flood elevations 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.

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
