FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY

44 CFR Part 64

[Docket No. FEMA-7665]


List of Communities Eligible for the Sale of Flood Insurance

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule identifies communities participating in the National 
Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). These communities have applied to the 
program and have agreed to enact certain floodplain management 
measures. The communities' participation in the program authorizes the 
sale of flood insurance to owners of property located in the 
communities listed.

EFFECTIVE DATES: The dates listed in the third column of the table.

ADDRESSES: Flood insurance policies for property located in the 
communities listed can be obtained from any licensed property insurance 
agent or broker serving the eligible community, or from the NFIP at: 
Post Office Box 6464, Rockville, MD 20849, (800) 638-6620.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert F. Shea, Jr., Division 
Director, Program Implementation Division, Mitigation Directorate, 500 
C Street SW., room 417, Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-3619.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP enables property owners to purchase 
flood insurance which is generally not otherwise available. In return, 
communities agree to adopt and administer local floodplain management 
measures aimed at protecting lives and new construction from future 
flooding. Since the communities on the attached list have recently 
entered the NFIP, subsidized flood insurance is now available for 
property in the community.
    In addition, the Executive Associate Director of the Federal 
Emergency Management Agency has identified the special flood hazard 
areas in some of these communities by publishing a Flood Hazard 
Boundary Map (FHBM) or Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). The date of the 
flood map, if one has been published, is indicated in the fourth column 
of the table. In the communities listed where a flood map has been 
published, Section 102 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as 
amended, 42 U.S.C. 4012(a), requires the purchase of flood insurance as 
a condition of Federal or federally related financial assistance for 
acquisition or construction of buildings in the special flood hazard 
areas shown on the map.
    The Executive Associate Director finds that the delayed effective 
dates would be contrary to the public interest. The Executive Associate 
Director also finds that notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 
553(b) are impracticable and unnecessary.

National Environmental Policy Act

    This rule is categorically excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR 
part 10, Environmental Considerations. No environmental impact 
assessment has been prepared.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Executive Associate Director certifies that this rule will not 
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities in accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 
601 et seq., because the rule creates no additional burden, but lists 
those communities eligible for the sale of flood insurance.

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.
