DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 67


Final Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Emergency 
Preparedness and Response Directorate, Department of Homeland Security.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Base (1% annual chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) and modified 
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 DATES: 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 maps are available for 
inspection as indicated on the table below.

ADDRESSES: The final BFEs 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: Doug Bellomo, P.E., Hazard 
Identification Section, Emergency Preparedness and Response 
Directorate, FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-
2903.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA makes the final determinations listed 
below for the modified BFEs 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 Mitigation 
Division Director of the Emergency Preparedness and Response 
Directorate, has resolved any appeals resulting from this notification.
    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.
    The Agency 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.
    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 Mitigation Division Director of the 
Emergency Preparedness and Response Directorate certifies that this 
rule is exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act 
because final or modified BFEs 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.
