FEDERAL EMERGENCY

MANAGEMENT AGENCY

44 CFR Part 65

Changes in Flood Elevation

Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency

Management Agency (FEMA).

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: Modified base (1-percentannual-chance) flood elevations are

finalized for the communities listed

below. These modified elevations will

be used to calculate flood insurance

premium rates for new buildings and

their contents.

EFFECTIVE DATES: The effective dates for

these modified base flood elevations are

indicated on the table below and revise

the Flood Insurance Rate Map(s) in

effect for each listed community prior to

this date.

ADDRESSES: The modified 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)

matt.miller@fema.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Federal Emergency Management Agency

makes the final determinations listed

below of the final determinations of

modified base flood elevations for each

community listed. These modified

elevations have been published in

newspapers of local circulation and

ninety (90) days have elapsed since that

publication. The Associate Director for

Mitigation has resolved any appeals

resulting from this notification.

The modified base flood elevations

are not listed for each community in

this notice. However, this rule includes

the address of the Chief Executive

Officer of the community where the

modified base flood elevation

determinations are available for

inspection.

The modifications are made pursuant

to Section 206 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 base flood elevations

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

36070 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 110 / Wednesday, June 7, 2000 / Rules and Regulations

pursuant to policies established by other

Federal, State, or regional entities. These modified 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. The changes in base flood elevations

are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.

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 modified base

flood elevations 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 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.

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.
