[Docket ID FEMA–2011–0002; Internal

Proposed Flood Elevation 

Determinations 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, DHS. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on 

the proposed Base (1% annual-chance) 

Flood Elevations (BFEs) and proposed 

BFE modifications for the communities 

listed in the table below. The purpose 

of this proposed rule is to seek general 

information and comment regarding the 

proposed regulatory flood elevations for 

the reach described by the downstream 

and upstream locations in the table 

below. The BFEs and modified BFEs are 

a part of the floodplain management 

measures that the community is 

required either to adopt or to show 

evidence of having in effect in order to 

qualify or remain qualified for 

participation in the National Flood 

Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, 

these elevations, once finalized, will be 

used by insurance agents and others to 

calculate appropriate flood insurance 

premium rates for new buildings and 

the contents in those buildings. 

DATES: Comments are to be submitted 

on or before November 15, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: The corresponding 

preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map 

(FIRM) for the proposed BFEs for each 

community is available for inspection at 

the community’s map repository. The 

respective addresses are listed in the 

table below. 

You may submit comments, identified 

by Docket No. FEMA–B–1212, to Luis 

Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering 

Management Branch, Federal Insurance 

and Mitigation Administration, Federal 

Emergency Management Agency, 500 C 

Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472,

Management Branch, Federal Insurance 

and Mitigation Administration, Federal 

Emergency Management Agency, 500 C

luis.rodriguez1@dhs.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Emergency Management Agency 

(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 BFEs 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 also are 

used to calculate the appropriate flood 

insurance premium rates for new 

buildings built after these elevations are 

made final, and for the contents in those 

buildings. 

Comments on any aspect of the Flood 

Insurance Study and FIRM, other than 

the proposed BFEs, will be considered. 

A letter acknowledging receipt of any 

comments will not be sent. 

National Environmental Policy Act. 

This proposed rule is categorically 

excluded from the requirements of 44 

CFR part 10, Environmental 

Consideration. An environmental 

impact assessment has not been 

prepared. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act. As flood 

elevation determinations are not within 

the scope of the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, a regulatory 

flexibility analysis is not required. 

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory 

Planning and Review. This proposed 

rule is not a significant regulatory action 

under the criteria of section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866, as amended. 

Executive Order 13132, Federalism. 

This proposed rule involves no policies 

that have federalism implications under 

Executive Order 13132. 

Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice 

Reform. This proposed rule meets the 

applicable standards of Executive Order 

12988.

COMMISSION 

47 CFR Part 54 

[WC Docket Nos. 03–109 and 11–42; CC 

Docket No. 96–45; DA 11–1346] 

Further Inquiry Into Four Issues in the 

Universal Service Lifeline/Link Up 

Reform and Modernization Proceeding 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Proposed rule; solicitation of 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications 

Commission (Commission) sought 

public comment on proposed reforms 

that would assist the Commission in 

assessing strategies to increase 

broadband adoption, without increasing 

overall program size. Based on the 

current record in this proceeding, four 

issues in particular merit further 

inquiry. In this document, the 

Commission seeks further inquiry on 

four issues: designing and implementing 

a Lifeline/Link Up broadband pilot 

program to evaluate whether and how 

Lifeline/Link Up can effectively support 

broadband adoption by low-income 

households; limiting the availability of 

Lifeline support to one discount per 

residential address; revising the 

definition of Link Up service, as well as 

the possible reduction of the $30 

reimbursement amount for Link Up 

support; and improving methods for 

verifying continued eligibility for the 

program. The Commission believes that 

this analysis would benefit from further 

development of these issues in the 

record, and therefore seek further 

comment focused on these areas. 

DATES: Comments are due on or before 

August 26, 2011. Reply comments are 

due on or before September 2, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Interested parties may file 

comments and reply comments on or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: To 

comprehensively reform and modernize 

the universal service Lifeline and Link 

Up programs in light of recent 

technological, market, and regulatory 

changes, on March 4, 2011 the 

Commission released the 2011 Lifeline 

and Link Up Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (NPRM or 2011 Lifeline and 

Link Up NPRM), 76 FR 16482, March 

23, 2011. The NPRM sought public 

comment on proposed reforms that 

would significantly bolster protections 

against waste, fraud, and abuse; control 

the size of the program; strengthen 

program administration and 

accountability; improve enrollment and 

outreach efforts; and support pilot 

programs that would assist the 

Commission in assessing strategies to 

increase broadband adoption, without 

increasing overall program size. Based 

on the current record in this proceeding, 

four issues in particular merit further 

inquiry: designing and implementing a 

Lifeline/Link Up broadband pilot 

program to evaluate whether and how 

Lifeline/Link Up can effectively support 

broadband adoption by low-income 

households; limiting the availability of 

Lifeline support to one discount per 

residential address; revising the 

definition of Link Up service, as well as 

the possible reduction of the $30 

reimbursement amount for Link Up 

support; and improving methods for 

verifying continued eligibility for the 

program. We believe that the 

Commission’s analysis would benefit 

from further development of these 

issues in the record, and therefore seek 

further comment focused on these areas. 

1. Broadband Pilot Program 

a. Scope of Permissible Funding. We 

seek comment on the Commission’s 

statutory authority to permit universal 

service funds to be used for such 

purposes, directly or indirectly, and 

what other legal considerations must be 

addressed before the Commission 

proceeds with a broadband pilot 

program. 

b. Consumer Eligibility for Pilot 

Program. We seek additional focused 

comment specifically on whether to 

maintain the current eligibility 

requirements for consumers 

participating in the pilot program that 

are currently used in the low-income 

program, or whether to adopt stricter or 

more permissive eligibility requirements 

for those consumers. How might 

adjusting the eligibility criteria affect 

our ability to maximize broadband 

adoption while providing support that 

is sufficient, but not excessive? How 

would it affect the reliability and 

statistical significance of the results of 

the pilot program? How would it help 

the pilot programs yield better data on 

how to accomplish our goals of 

maximizing adoption in low-income 

communities? 

c. Barriers to Consumer Participation 

in Pilots. The National Association of 

Regulatory Utility Commissioners 

supports a Lifeline/Link Up broadband
