AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Base (1-percent-annual-chance) Flood Elevations and modified
Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) are made final for the communities listed
below. The BFEs and modified BFEs 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 BFEs and modified BFEs for each 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA makes final determinations listed below
of BFEs and modified BFEs for each community listed. The proposed BFEs
and proposed modified BFEse 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 90 days. The proposed BFEs and proposed
modified BFEs 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 BFEs and modified BFEs are made final in the communities listed
below. Elevations at selected locations in each community are shown.

part 10, Environmental Consideration. No environmental impact
assessment has been prepared.

eligibility in the NFIP. No regulatory flexibility analysis has been
prepared.
