Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations; Illinois et al.

FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY

44 CFR Part 67

[Docket No. FEMA-7093]

Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations; Illinois et al.

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, FEMA.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Technical information or comments are requested on the

proposed base (100-year) flood elevations and proposed base flood

elevation modifications for the communities listed below. The base

(100-year) flood elevations are the basis for the floodplain management

measures that the 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).

DATES: The comment period is ninety (90) days following the second

publication of this proposed rule in a newspaper of local circulation

in each community.

ADDRESSES: The proposed 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 following

table.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael K. Buckley, P.E., Chief,

Hazard Identification Branch, Mitigation Directorate, 500 C Street,

SW., Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-2756.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency

(FEMA or Agency) proposes to make determinations of base (100-year)

flood elevations and modified base flood elevations for each community

listed below, in accordance with section 110 of the Flood Disaster

Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).

These proposed base flood and modified base flood elevations,

together with the floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR

60.3, are the minimum that are required. They should not be construed

to mean that the community must change any existing ordinances that are

more stringent in their floodplain management requirements. The

community may at any time enact stricter requirements of its own, or

pursuant to policies established by other Federal, state or regional

entities. These proposed elevations are used to meet the floodplain

management requirements of the NFIP and are also used to calculate the

appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after

these elevations are made final, and for the contents in these

buildings.

National Environmental Policy Act

This proposed 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 Associate Director, Mitigation Directorate, certifies that this

proposed rule is exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act because proposed or modified base flood elevations are

required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104,

and are required to establish and maintain community eligibility in the

National Flood Insurance Program. As a result, a regulatory flexibility

analysis has not been prepared.

Regulatory Classification

This proposed 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

This proposed rule involves no policies that have federalism

implications under Executive Order 12612, Federalism, dated October 26,

1987.

Executive Order 12778, Civil Justice Reform

This proposed rule meets the applicable standards of section

2(b)(2) of Executive Order 12778.
