44 CFR Part 67 

[Docket No. FEMA–D–7610] 

Proposed Flood Elevation 

Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA), 

Emergency Preparedness and Response 

Directorate, Department of Homeland 

Security.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: Technical information or 

comments are requested on the 

proposed Base (1% annual chance) 

Flood Elevations (BFEs) and proposed 

BFE modifications for the communities 

listed below. The BFEs 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 BFEs 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:

Doug Bellomo, P.E., Hazard 

Identification Section, Emergency 

Preparedness and Response Directorate, 

FEMA, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, 

DC 20472, (202) 646–2903.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA 

proposes to make determinations of 

BFEs and modified BFEs 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 BFEs, 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 

Mitigation Division Director of the 

Emergency Preparedness and Response 

Directorate certifies that this proposed 

rule is exempt from the requirements of 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act because 

proposed or modified BFEs 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. 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.

List of Subjects in 44 CFR Part 67

procedure, Flood insurance, Reporting 

and recordkeeping requirements.

Accordingly, 44 CFR part 67 is
