Final Flood Elevation Determinations

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

[[Page 60712]]

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 FIRM is available for inspection as indicated in 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: Matthew B. Miller, P.E., Chief,

Hazards Study Branch, Mitigation Directorate, 500 C Street SW.,

Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-3461, or (e-mail) [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management 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.

FEMA 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 FIRM 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 Associate Director for Mitigation 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 NFIP. No regulatory

flexibility analysis has been prepared.

criteria of Section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866 of September 30,

1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, 58 FR 51735.
