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 DATES: 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency

(FEMA or Agency) makes final 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.

part 10, Environmental Consideration. No environmental impact
