Unified Regulatory Agenda

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

ACTION: Regulatory agenda.

_______________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency Management Agency publishes its 
regulatory agenda in April and October to inform interested parties of 
progress on FEMA regulations. The agenda lists regulations that we 
expect to develop or review during the period October 1, 1995, to April 
30, 1996.

ADDRESSES: For information about specific regulations, please contact 
the person listed as the agency contact in the agenda.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For general information on FEMA's 
regulatory agenda, contact H. Crane Miller, Office of the General 
Counsel, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street SW., 
Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-3340.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Executive Order 12866 ``Regulatory Planning 
and Review'' directs each executive agency to publish only such 
regulations as are required by law, are necessary to interpret the law, 
or are made necessary by compelling public need. Publication of an 
agenda of regulations is called for semiannually in order to give the 
public adequate notice of agency rulemaking activities; also, 
publication of a regulatory agenda concerning rules likely to be 
significant regulatory actions must be published.

    In fulfillment of the requirements of Executive Order 12866, 
this agenda describes current and projected regulatory actions and 
rules that we expect to develop or review during the period October 
1, 1995, to April 30, 1996. This agenda also contains information 
on regulations completed or withdrawn since the last FEMA 
regulatory agenda was published May 8, 1995, 60 FR 24044 to 24048.

    Public comment on the agenda, including comments by State and 
local governments, is invited and should be submitted to the Rules 
Docket Clerk, Office of the General Counsel, Federal Emergency 
Management Agency, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472; FAX 
(202) 646-4536. Please refer to the title and the Regulation 
Identifier Number (RIN) of the rule about which you are inquiring 
or commenting.

    The agenda is not limited to significant regulatory actions and 
contains information concerning FEMA regulations to be developed, 
reviewed, or published in the next 6 months except for routine 
flood elevation determinations, listings of eligible communities 
under the National Flood Insurance Program and the National Crime 
Insurance Program, listings of suspended communities and similar 
designations under the National Flood Insurance Program, and FEMA 
organizational and management matters.

Dated: September 28, 1995.
