DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 67


Final Flood Elevation Determinations

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Base (1% 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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Doug Bellomo, P.E., Hazard 
Identification Section, Emergency Preparedness and Response 
Directorate, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW., 
Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-2903.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency 
makes the final determinations listed below for the BFEs and 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. 4105, and 44 CFR part 
67.
    The Federal Emergency Management 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 modified base 
flood elevations are required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 
1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, 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
