Semiannual Regulatory Agenda

AGENCY:  Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

ACTION:  Semiannual regulatory agenda.

_______________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY:  The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) publishes its 
semiannual regulatory agenda in April and October to inform interested 
parties of progress on FEMA regulations. The agenda lists regulations 
that will be under development or review during the period October 1, 
2000 to April 30, 2001.

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 of FEMA's 
regulatory agenda, contact Michael S. Herman, Office of the General 
Counsel, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street SW.,

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 necessary by compelling public need. We and other Federal 
departments and agencies publish an agenda of regulations semiannually 
in order to give you adequate notice of agency rulemaking activities. 
We also publish a regulatory agenda of rules likely to be significant 
regulatory actions when that is appropriate.

     To fulfill the requirements of Executive Order 12866, this 
agenda describes current and projected regulatory actions and rules 
that will be under review or development during the period October 
1, 2000 to April 30, 2001. This agenda also contains information of 
regulations on which we completed action since the last FEMA 
semiannual agenda was published Monday, April 24, 2000, at 65 FR 
23606 to 23611.

     We invite your comments on the agenda, including comments by 
State and local governments. Please submit any comments 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 or e-mail: [email protected]. Please refer 
to the title of the rule that you are inquiring about, or 
commenting on and to the rule's Regulation Identifier Number (RIN) 
found at the end of each agenda entry.

     The agenda is not limited to significant regulatory actions 
and it contains information about FEMA regulations to be developed, 
reviewed, or published in the next 12 months, except for routine 
flood elevation determinations, listings of eligible communities 
under the National Flood Insurance Program, listings of suspended 
communities and similar designations under the National Flood 
Insurance Program, and FEMA organizational and management matters.

Dated:  September 12, 2000.

 Ernest B. Abbott,

General Counsel.
