44 CFR Part 65

[Docket No. FEMA–D–7551] 

Changes in Flood Elevation 

Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA) 

Emergency Preparedness and Response 

Directorate, Department of Homeland 

Security.

ACTION: Interim rule.

SUMMARY: This interim rule lists 

commmunities where modification of 

the Base (1% annual chance) Flood 

Elevations (BFEs), is appropriate 

because of new scientific or technical 

data. New Flood insurance premium 

rates will be calculated from the 

modified BFEs for new buildings and 

their contents.

DATES: These modified BFEs are 

currently in effect on the dates listed in 

the table and revise the Flood Insurance 

Rate Map(s) (FIRMs) in effect prior to 

this determination for each listed 

community. 

From the date of the second 

publication of these changes in a 

newspaper of local circulation, any 

person has ninety (90) days in which to 

request through the community that the 

Director reconsider the changes. The 

modified elevations may be changed 

during the 90-day period.

Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 27 / Tuesday, February 10, 2004 / Rules and Regulations 6167

ADDRESSES: The modified 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: The 

modified BFEs are not listed for each 

community in this interim rule. 

However, the address of the Chief 

Executive Officer of the community 

where the modified BFE determinations 

are available for inspection is provided. 

Any request for reconsideration must 

be based upon knowledge of changed 

conditions, or upon new scientific or 

technical data. 

The modifications are made pursuant 

to section 201 of the Flood Disaster 

Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, 

and are in accordance with the National 

Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 

4001 et. seq., and with 44 CFR part 65. 

For rating purposes, the currently 

effective community number is shown 

and must be used for all new policies 

and renewals. 

The modified BFEs are the basis for 

the floodplain management measures 

that the community is required to either 

adopt or to show evidence of being 

already in effect in order to qualify or 

to remain qualified for participation in 

the National Flood Insurance Program 

(NFIP). 

These modified 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. 

The changes in BFEs are in 

accordance with 44 CFR 65.4. 

National Environmental Policy Act 

This rule is categorically excluded 

from the requirement 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 

rule is exempt from the requirements of 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act because 

modified BFEs are required by the Flood 

Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 

U.S.C. 4105, and are required to 

maintain community eligibility in the 

NFIP. No regulatory flexibility analysis 

has been prepared. 

Regulatory Classification 

This interim 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 rule involves no policies that 

have federalism implications under 

Executive Order 12612, Federalism, 

dated October 26, 1987. 

Executive Order 12778, Civil Justice 

Reform 

This rule meets the applicable 

standards of section 2(b)(2) of Executive 

Order 12778.

Changes in Flood Elevation 

Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency

Preparedness and Response Directorate, 

Department of Homeland Security.

ACTION: Interim rule.

SUMMARY: This interim rule lists 

communities where modification of the 

Base (1% annual-chance) Flood 

Elevations (BFEs) is appropriate because 

of new scientific or technical data. New 

flood insurance premium rates will be 

calculated from the modified BFEs for 

new buildings and their contents.

DATES: These modified BFEs are 

currently in effect on the dates listed in 

the table below and revise the Flood 

Insurance Rate Map(s) in effect prior to 

this determination for the listed 

communities. 

From the date of the second 

publication of these changes in a 

newspaper of local circulation, any 

person has ninety (90) days in which to 

request through the community that the 

Mitigation Division Director of the 

Emergency Preparedness and Response 

Directorate reconsider the changes. The 

modified BFEs may be changed during 

the 90-day period.

ADDRESSES: The modified 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

modified BFEs are not listed for each 

community in this interim rule. 

However, the address of the Chief 

Executive Officer of the community 

where the modified BFE determinations 

are available for inspection is provided. 

Any request for reconsideration must 

be based on knowledge of changed 

conditions or new scientific or technical 

data. 

The modifications are made pursuant 

to section 201 of the Flood Disaster 

Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, 

and are in accordance with the National 

Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 

4001 et seq., and with 44 CFR part 65. 

For rating purposes, the currently 

effective community number is shown 

and must be used for all new policies 

and renewals. 

The modified BFEs are the basis for 

the floodplain management measures 

that the community is required to either 

adopt or to show evidence of being 

already in effect in order to qualify or 

to remain qualified for participation in 

the National Flood Insurance Program 

(NFIP). 

These 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

Federal, State, or regional entities. 

The changes in BFEs are in 

accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.

modified base flood elevations are 

required by the Flood Disaster

and are required to maintain community 

eligibility in the NFIP. No regulatory 

flexibility analysis has been prepared.
