In the Final Rules section of this

Federal Register, the EPA is approving

the state’s SIP submittal as a direct final

rule without prior proposal because the

Agency views this as a noncontroversial

revision and anticipates no adverse

comments.

A detailed rationale for this approval

is set forth in the direct final rule. If no

adverse comments are received, no

further activity is contemplated. If EPA

receives adverse comments, the direct

final rule will be withdrawn and all

public comments received will be

addressed in a subsequent final rule

based on this proposed rule. The EPA

will not institute a second comment

period. Any parties interested in

commenting should do so at this time.

FEDERAL EMERGENCY

MANAGEMENT AGENCY

44 CFR Part 67

[Docket No. FEMA–B–7401]

Proposed Flood Elevation

Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency

Management Agency (FEMA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: Technical information or

comments are requested on the

proposed base (1-percent-annualchance) flood elevations and proposed

base flood elevation modifications for

the communities listed below. The base

flood elevations and modified base

flood elevations are the basis for the

floodplain management measures that

the 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).

DATES: The comment period is ninety

(90) days following the second

publication of this proposed rule in a

newspaper of local circulation in each

community.

ADDRESSES: The proposed 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

proposes to make determinations of base

flood elevations and modified base

flood elevations 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 base flood and

modified base flood 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.

These proposed 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.

National Environmental Policy Act.

This proposed 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 proposed rule is

exempt from the requirements of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act because

proposed 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. This

proposed 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 proposed rule involves no policies

that have federalism implications under

Executive Order 12612, Federalism,

dated October 26, 1987.

Executive Order 12778, Civil Justice

Reform. This proposed rule meets the

applicable standards of Section 2(b)(2)

of Executive Order 12778.

Regulatory Review

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rule making.

SUMMARY: This document solicits

comments on whether the Commission

should continue to require U.S. nondominant interexchange carriers to file

tariffs for international services

pursuant to the requirements of the

Communications Act. The Commission

initiated this proceeding to determine

whether to extend the complete

detariffing regime that it adopted for

domestic, interexchange services to the

international services of non-dominant

interexchange carriers, including U.S.

carriers classified as dominant due to

foreign affiliations. The Commission

believes that these proposals will foster

competition in the U.S. international

services market and bring lower rates to

U.S. consumers.

DATES: Comments are due on or before

November 17, 2000, and reply

comments are due on or before

December 4, 2000.

This NPRM contains proposed

information collections subject to the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

general public, and other Federal

agencies will be invited to comment on

the proposed information collections

contained in this proceeding.

Summary of Notice of Proposed

Rulemaking

1. In 1996, the Commission adopted

policies and rules regarding the

detariffing of domestic interexchange

services (Domestic Detariffing Order)

(61 FR 59340, November 22, 1996). In

the Domestic Detariffing Order, the

Commission concluded that complete

detariffing with limited exceptions for

permissive detariffing, satisfies the

criteria set forth in section 10(a) of the

Communications Act. The Commission

made no determination as to whether

detariffing international, interexchange

services satisfied the requirements of

section 10, as competitive conditions in

the international marketplace may vary

from those in the domestic

interexchange marketplace.

2. On October 12, 2000, the

Commission adopted a Notice of

Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to

determine whether competitive

conditions in the international

interexchange marketplace support

detariffing non-dominant carriers’

provision of international services in

accordance with the criteria in section

10 of the Communications Act of 1996.

The Commission initiated this

proceeding in response to the

Communications Act of 1996, which

requires the Commission to review all

regulations that apply to operations or

activities of any provider of

telecommunications service and to

repeal or modify any regulation it

determines to be no longer necessary in

the public interest. Since adopting the

Domestic Detariffing Order, there have

been dramatic changes in the market for

international interexchange services

resulting in increased competition.

Thus, the Commission commenced this

proceeding to examine whether to

continue to require U.S. non-dominant

interexchange carriers to file tariffs for

international services pursuant to the

requirements of section 203 of the Act.

The Commission solicits comments on

all of the proposals and tentative

conclusions contained in the NPRM.

3. The NPRM seeks comment on the

Commission’s tentative conclusion that

the Communications Act requires it to

forbear from applying section 203 of the

Act and to adopt a policy of complete

detariffing for international

interexchange services with limited

exceptions for permissive detariffing.

The NPRM seeks comment on the

Commission’s determination that its

proposals meet the statutory forbearance

criteria of section 10 of the

Communications Act.

4. The NPRM solicits comment on the

Commission’s tentative conclusion that

tariff filing requirements are not

necessary to ensure that the charges,

practices, classifications or regulations

for the international interexchange

services of non-dominant interexchange

carriers are just and reasonable, and are

not unjustly or unreasonably

discriminatory. The NPRM also solicits

comment on whether there remains a

justification to retain tariffs on certain

routes on which sufficient competition

may not exist. The Commission

tentatively concludes that its policies

and enforcement authority, in

conjunction with market forces will

generally ensure that the rates,

practices, and classifications of nondominant interexchange carriers for

international interexchange services

will be just and reasonable and not

unjustly or unreasonably

discriminatory.

5. Comments are requested on the

Commission’s tentative conclusion that

tariffs are not necessary for the

protection of consumers of

interexchange services. The

Commission tentatively concludes that

tariffs are not necessary for the

protection of consumers. Rather, the

Commission believes that tariff filing

requirements may harm consumers by

undermining the development of

competition and possibly leading to

higher rates by stifling price reductions
