FEDERAL EMERGENCY

MANAGEMENT AGENCY

44 CFR Part 65

[Docket No. FEMA–7201]

Changes in Flood Elevation

Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency

Management Agency, FEMA.

ACTION: Interim rule.

SUMMARY: This interim rule lists

communities where modification of the

base (1% annual chance) flood

elevations is appropriate because of new

scientific or technical data. New flood

insurance premium rates will be

calculated from the modified base flood

elevations for new buildings and their

contents.

DATES: These modified base flood

elevations 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

Executive Associate Director reconsider

the changes. The modified elevations

may be changed during the 90-day

period.

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 following table.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Frederick H. Sharrocks, Jr., Chief,

Hazard Identification Branch, Mitigation

Directorate, 500 C Street SW.,

Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646–2796.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

modified base flood elevations are not

listed for each community in this

interim rule. However, the address of

the Chief Executive Officer of the

community where the modified base

flood elevation 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 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.

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 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 Executive Associate Director,

Mitigation Directorate, 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
