FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY

44 CFR Part 64

[Docket No. FEMA-7706]


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 Support Division, Mitigation Directorate, 500 C 
Street SW., room 417, Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-3619.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP enables property owners to purchase

[[Page 4979]]

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 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 Associate Director finds that the delayed effective dates would 
be contrary to the public interest. The 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 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.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    This rule does not involve any collection of information for 
purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.

Executive Order 12612, Federalism

    This rule involves no policies that have federalism implications 
under Executive Order 12612, Federalism, October 26, 1987, 3 CFR, 1987 
Comp., p. 252.

Executive Order 12778, Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets the applicable standards of section 2(b)(2) of 
Executive Order 12778, October 25, 1991, 56 FR 55195, 3 CFR, 1991 
Comp., p. 309.
