GENERAL SERVICES

ADMINISTRATION

41 CFR Part 101–2

[FPMR Amendment A–56]

RIN 3090–AH32

Payments to GSA for Supplies and

Services Furnished Government

Agencies

AGENCY: Office of Governmentwide

Policy.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The General Services

Administration (GSA) is removing

Federal Property Management

Regulations (FPMR) coverage on

Payments to GSA for Supplies and

Services Furnished Government

Agencies. Adequate coverage exists in

the Department of Treasury’s

regulations. This action eliminates

unnecessary coverage in the FPMR.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This final rule is

effective October 27, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Michael Kosar, 202–501–2029. E-mail:

mike.kosar@gsa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

In an effort to improve GSA’s external

directives system, GSA has undertaken

a review of the Federal Property

Management Regulations (FPMR). The

FPMR prescribes Governmentwide

regulations for real property, personal

property, and other programs and

activities within GSA’s regulatory

authority. As part of this review, GSA is

removing FPMR 101–2 because it is

procedural rather than regulatory.

Current guidance issued by the

Department of Treasury may be found in

the Treasury Financial Manual (TFM)

Vol. 1, Part 6, Chapter 4000.

B. Executive Order 12866

The General Services Administration

has determined that this final rule is not

a significant regulatory action for the

purposes of Executive Order 12866.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act

A regulatory flexibility analysis is not

required under the Regulatory

Flexibility Act, 4 U.S.C. 601, et seq.,

because there is no requirement that the

rule be published in the Federal

Register for notice and comment.

D. Paperwork Reduction Act

The Paperwork Reduction Act does

not apply because this final rule does

not impose recordkeeping or

information collection requirements, or

the collection of information from

offerors, contractors, or members of the

public which require the approval of the

Office of Management and Budget under

44 U.S.C. 501 et seq.

E. Small Business Regulatory

Enforcement Fairness Act

This final rule is also exempt from

congressional review prescribed under 5

U.S.C. 801 since it relates solely to

agency management and personnel.

List of Subjects in 41 CFR Part 101–2

Government property management.

PART 101–2—[REMOVED]

Accordingly, under the authority of

Sec. 205(c), 63 Stat. 390 (40 U.S.C.

496(c)), amend 41 CFR Chapter 101 by

removing part 101–2.

Dated: October 23, 2000.

Administrator of General Services.

FEDERAL EMERGENCY

MANAGEMENT AGENCY

44 CFR Part 65

[Docket No. FEMA–B–7400]

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-percent-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 below and

revise the Flood Insurance Rate Maps 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

Associate Director for Mitigation

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 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

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 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 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

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

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 209 / Friday, October 27, 2000 / Rules and Regulations 64373

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.

September 30, 1993, Regulatory

Planning and Review, 58 FR 51735.
