already in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for 
participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).

DATES: 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 maps are available

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 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 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

excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10, Environmental 
Consideration. No environmental impact assessment has been prepared.

regulatory action under the criteria of Section 3(f) of Executive Order 
12866 of September 30, 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, 58 FR 
51735.
