Federal Emergency Management 

Agency 

44 CFR Part 64 

[Docket No. FEMA–7774] 

List of Communities Eligible for the 

Sale of Flood Insurance

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, Emergency 

Preparedness and Response Directorate, 

Department of Homeland Security.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This rule identifies 

communities participating in the 

National Flood Insurance Program 

(NFIP) and suspended from the NFIP. 

These communities have applied to the 

program and have agreed to enact 

certain floodplain management 

measures. The communities’

participation in the program authorizes 

the sale of flood insurance to owners of 

property located in the communities 

listed.

EFFECTIVE DATES: The dates listed under 

the column headed Effective Date of 

Eligibility.

ADDRESSES: Flood insurance policies for 

property located in the communities 

listed can be obtained from any licensed 

property insurance agent or broker 

serving the eligible community, or from 

the NFIP at: (800) 638–6620.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Mike Grimm, Mitigation Division, 500 C 

Street, SW.; Room 412, Washington, DC 

20472, (202) 646–2878.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP 

enables property owners to purchase 

flood insurance which is generally not 

otherwise available. In return, 

communities agree to adopt and 

administer local floodplain management 

measures aimed at protecting lives and 

new construction from future flooding. 

Since the communities on the attached 

list have recently entered the NFIP, 

subsidized flood insurance is now 

available for property in the community. 

In addition, the Federal Emergency 

Management Agency has identified the 

special flood hazard areas in some of 

these communities by publishing a 

Flood Hazard Boundary Map (FHBM) or 

Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). The 

date of the flood map, if one has been 

published, is indicated in the fourth 

column of the table. In the communities 

listed where a flood map has been 

published, Section 202 of the Flood 

Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as 

amended, 42 U.S.C. 4016(a), requires 

the purchase of flood insurance as a 

condition of Federal or federally related 

financial assistance for acquisition or 

construction of buildings in the special 

flood hazard areas shown on the map. 

The Administrator finds that delayed 

effective dates would be contrary to the 

public interest and that notice and 

public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) 

are impracticable and unnecessary. 

National Environmental Policy Act.

This rule is categorically excluded from 

the requirements of 44 CFR Part 10, 

Environmental Considerations. No 

environmental impact assessment has 

been prepared. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act. The 

Administrator certifies that this rule 

will not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities in accordance with the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U. S. C. 601 

et seq., because the rule creates no 

additional burden, but lists those 

communities eligible for the sale of 

flood insurance. 

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 51735. 

Paperwork Reduction Act. This rule 

does not involve any collection of 

information for purposes of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 

3501 et seq.

Executive Order 12612, Federalism.

This rule involves no policies that have 

federalism implications under Executive 

Order 12612, Federalism, October 26, 

1987, 3 CFR, 1987 Comp., p. 252. 

Executive Order 12778, Civil Justice 

Reform. This rule meets the applicable 

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

Order 12778, October 25, 1991, 56 FR 

55195, 3 CFR, 1991 Comp., p. 309.

reinstate a rule which was in place since 

1993. The change permits States to once 

again use reasonable quantitative 

standards in adjusting an existing child 

support award amount after conducting 

a review of the order, regardless of the 

method of review used.

DATES: These regulations are effective 

December 28, 2004. Consideration will 

be given to comments received February 

28, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Statutory Authority 

The provisions of this regulation 

pertaining to review and adjustment of 

child support orders are published 

under the authority granted to the 

Secretary by section 466(a) of the Social 

Security Act (the Act), 42 U.S.C. 666(a). 

Section 466(a) requires each State to 

have in effect laws requiring the use of 

specified procedures, consistent with 

this section of the Act and regulations 

of the Secretary, to increase the 

effectiveness of the Child Support 

Enforcement program. Review and 

adjustment of support orders at section 

466(a)(10) of the Act is one of the 

required procedures. 

Justification for Interim Final Rule 

The Administrative Procedure Act 

requirements for notice of proposed 

rulemaking do not apply to rules when 

the agency finds that notice is 

impracticable, unnecessary or contrary 

to the public interest. We find proposed 

rulemaking unnecessary and contrary to 

the public interest, because the rule is 

not imposing new requirements or 

burdens on States, but is removing an 

administrative requirement and burden 

on agencies and families that was added 

to the technical corrections final 

regulation published in the Federal 

Register on May 12, 2003 (68 FR 25293). 

Without opportunity for public 

comment, that regulation implemented 

a substantive change to prior policy that 

was not warranted under any 

intervening amendment to the relevant 

statute. The change required States to 

adjust an order for support after a 

guidelines review, regardless of the 

amount by which the existing order is 

found to deviate from the State’s 

support guidelines. The statute, as in 

effect before and after this change, 

provided that such adjustments were 

only required ‘‘if appropriate.’’ Prior to 

that regulation, since 1993, States could 

apply a reasonable quantitative standard 

for adjustment of an order regardless of 

the method of their review of the order. 

This regulation reinstates the prior rule 

with opportunity for public comment. 

Because the regulatory change 

published on May 12 did not allow for 

public comment, and this rule merely 

reinstates the prior regulation which 

was issued pursuant to notice and 

comment, advance notice is 

unnecessary.

Background 

1992 Regulations 

Under the authority of sections 

466(a)(10) and 1102 of the Act, OCSE 

published regulations on review and 

adjustment of child support orders in 

1992. They were effective in October, 

1993. In the preamble to that regulation, 

the basis for seeking an adjustment to an 

order was described as paraphrased 

below. 

In the 1992 regulation, 45 CFR 

303.8(d) specified the requirements 

States had to meet in seeking 

adjustments to child support orders in 

IV–D cases. Paragraph (d)(1) required 

that an inconsistency between the 

existent child support order amount and 

the amount of child support which 

resulted from application of the State 

guidelines must be an adequate basis, 

under State law, for petitioning for an 

adjustment of an order in a IV–D case, 

whether or not the order was 

established using guidelines. 

Paragraph (d)(2) of the 1992 

regulation provided for an exception 

that allowed States to establish a 

quantitative standard based upon either 

a fixed dollar amount or percentage, or 

both, as a basis for determining whether 

an inconsistency is adequate grounds 

for petitioning for adjustment of the 

order. That quantitative standard, or 

threshold, was to be used as a basis for 

determining whether the inconsistency 

was sufficient to justify proceeding with 

a petition or motion for adjustment of an 

award, not as a criterion for deciding 

whether to review. Threshold standards 

were not needed if States adjusted all 

orders regardless of the degree of 

inconsistency with the guidelines. 

However, thresholds could serve to 

prevent inundating the adjustment 

process with cases in which the 

variance was minimal between the 

current order amount and the amount 

that would result from an application of 

the guidelines. 

The quantitative standard permitted 

by the 1992 regulation was meant to be 

used as a post-review decision-making 

tool. It was not intended to restrict the 

use of guidelines in setting and 

modifying support nor to limit the 

authority of the court or other authority 

to find, in a particular case, that an 

award based on guidelines was unfair or 

inappropriate. In making any 

adjustment to the amount of support, 

the judicial or administrative process 

still had to apply the State guidelines. 

Under regulations at 45 CFR 302.56, 

Guidelines for setting child support 

awards, the child support award 

calculated to be due under the 

guidelines was rebuttably presumed to 

be the correct amount of support to be 

paid.
