FEDERAL EMERGENCY

MANAGEMENT AGENCY

44 CFR Part 67

Final Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency

Management Agency (FEMA).

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: Base (1% annual chance)

flood elevations and modified base

flood elevations are made final for the

communities listed below. The base

flood elevations and modified base

flood elevations are the basis for the

floodplain management measures that

each community is required either to

adopt or to show evidence of being

already in effect in order to qualify or

remain qualified for participation in the

National Flood Insurance Program

(NFIP).

EFFECTIVE DATE: The date of issuance of

the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM)

showing base flood elevations and

modified base flood elevations for each

community. This date may be obtained

by contacting the office where the FIRM

is available for inspection as indicated

in the table below.

ADDRESSES: The final 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 final determinations listed below

of base flood elevations and modified

base flood elevations for each

community listed. The proposed base

flood elevations and proposed modified

base flood elevations were published in

newspapers of local circulation and an

opportunity for the community or

individuals to appeal the proposed

determinations to or through the

community was provided for a period of

ninety (90) days. The proposed base

flood elevations and proposed modified

base flood elevations were also

published in the Federal Register.

This final rule is issued in accordance

with Section 110 of the Flood Disaster

Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104,

and 44 CFR part 67.

FEMA has developed criteria for

floodplain management in floodprone

areas in accordance with 44 CFR Part

60.

Interested lessees and owners of real

property are encouraged to review the

proof Flood Insurance Study and FIRM

available at the address cited below for

each community.

The base flood elevations and

modified base flood elevations are made

final in the communities listed below.

Elevations at selected locations in each

community are shown.

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 final or modified

base flood elevations are required by the

Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973,

42 U.S.C. 4104, and are required to

establish and maintain community

eligibility in the NFIP. No regulatory

flexibility analysis has been prepared.

Regulatory Classification

September 30, 1993, Regulatory

Planning and Review, 58 FR 51735.

dated October 26, 1987.

46 CFR Parts 10 and 15

[USCG 1999–6224]

RIN 2115–AF23

Licensing and Manning for Officers of

Towing Vessels

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Interim rule; delay of effective

date.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is delaying

the effective date of an interim rule with

request for comments, published in the

Federal Register on November 19, 1999

[64 FR 63213]. An extension of the

effective date from November 20, 2000,

to May 21, 2001, is necessary so we can

make clarifications and issue guidelines

for implementation of the new licenses

and revised training criteria established

in that interim rule, and carry on

outreach.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This interim rule delays

the effective date of the interim rule of

November 19, 1999, from November 20,

2000, to May 21, 2001; it leaves

unchanged all other requirements.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Lieutenant Commander Luke Harden,

Office of Operating and Environmental

Standards (G–MSO), U.S. Coast Guard,

202–267–0229. The Department of

Transportation maintains the docket for

this rulemaking on the web site for its

Document Management System at http:/

/dms.dot.gov. The docket number is

USCG 1999–6224.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

November 19, 1999, the Coast Guard

published an interim rule and request

for comments entitled ‘‘Licensing and

Manning for Officers of Towing

Vessels’’ in the Federal Register [64 FR

63213]. The interim rule that was to

become effective on November 20, 2000,

established new licenses and revised

training for officers of towing vessels.

Since promulgation of the interim

rule, the Coast Guard has become aware

that certain provisions in the rule may

require clarification. The Coast Guard

plans to publish clarification in a

separate interim rule. To ensure that it

makes clear all options, and that it gives

all affected parties enough time to

comply with the new and revised

requirements, the Coast Guard is

postponing the effective date of the

interim rule of November 19, 1999, for

six months. The Coast Guard considers

a postponement of six months to be

adequate for better implementation of

the new requirements, the revised

standards for training set forth in that

interim rule, and outreach.

Accordingly, the effective date for the

interim rule of November 19, 1999 [64

FR 63213] is changed from November

20, 2000, to May 21, 2001.

Dated: October 23, 2000.

47 CFR Part 15

[PP Docket No. 00–67; FCC 00–342]

Compatibility Between Cable Systems

and Consumer Electronics Equipment

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: On September 14, 2000, the

Federal Communications Commission

adopted a Report and Order (R&O) on

the labeling of digital television (DTV)

receivers and other consumer

electronics receiving devices. The

labeling requirements are designed to

ensure that consumers understand the

capability of digital television

equipment to operate with cable

television systems. This will not only

aid consumers in making informed

purchasing decisions with respect to

DTV equipment but also promote the

overall transition from analog to digital

television.

DATES: The rules in this document

contain information collection

requirements and are not effective until

approved by the Office of Management

and Budget. FCC will publish a

document in the Federal Register

announcing the effective date of these

rules.

Public and agency comments on the

information collection are due

December 26, 2000.

ADDRESSES: In addition to filing

comments with the Office of Secretary,

a copy of any comments on the

information collection contained herein

shall be submitted to Judy Boley,

Federal Communications Commission,
