44 CFR Part 67

Final Flood Elevation Determinations; Alabama, Et Al.

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Base (1% annual chance) flood elevations and modified base

flood elevations are made final for the communities listed below. The

base flood elevations and modified base flood elevations are the basis

for the floodplain management measures that each 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).

EFFECTIVE DATE: The date of issuance of the Flood Insurance Rate Map

(FIRM) showing base flood elevations and modified base flood elevations

for each community. This date may be obtained by contacting the office

where the maps are available for inspection as indicated on the table

below.

ADDRESSES: The final 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 table

below.

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

Hazard Identification Branch, Mitigation Directorate, 500 C Street

S.W., Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-2756.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency

(FEMA or Agency) makes final

[[Page 38095]]

determinations listed below of base flood elevations and modified base

flood elevations for each community listed. The proposed base flood

elevations and proposed modified base flood elevations were published

in newspapers of local circulation and an opportunity for the community

or individuals to appeal the proposed determinations to or through the

community was provided for a period of ninety (90) days. The proposed

base flood elevations and proposed modified base flood elevations were

also published in the Federal Register.

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

67.

The Agency has developed criteria for floodplain management in

floodprone areas in accordance with 44 CFR part 60.

Interested lessees and owners of real property are encouraged to

review the proof Flood Insurance Study and Flood Insurance Rate Map

available at the address cited below for each community.

The base flood elevations and modified base flood elevations are

made final in the communities listed below. Elevations at selected

locations in each community are shown.

National Environmental Policy Act. This 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 Acting Associate Director,

Mitigation Directorate, certifies that this rule is exempt from the

requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act because final 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. No regulatory flexibility analysis has been prepared.

Regulatory Classification. This final 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
