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

(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 Assistant Administrator of the

excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10, Environmental 
Consideration. An environmental impact assessment has not been

regulatory action under the criteria of section 3(f) of Executive Order
