FEDERAL EMERGENCY

MANAGEMENT AGENCY

44 CFR Part 64

[Docket No. FEMA–7660]

Suspension of Community Eligibility

AGENCY: Federal Emergency

Management Agency, FEMA.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This rule identifies

communities, where the sale of flood

insurance has been authorized under

the National Flood Insurance Program

(NFIP), that are suspended on the

effective dates listed within this rule

because of noncompliance with the

floodplain management requirements of

the program. If the Federal Emergency

Management Agency (FEMA) receives

documentation that the community has

adopted the required floodplain

management measures prior to the

effective suspension date given in this

rule, the suspension will be withdrawn

by publication in the Federal Register.

EFFECTIVE DATES: The effective date of

each community’s suspension is the

third date (‘‘Susp.’’) listed in the third

column of the following tables.

ADDRESSES: If you wish to determine

whether a particular community was

suspended on the suspension date,

contact the appropriate FEMA Regional

Office or the NFIP servicing contractor.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Robert F. Shea, Jr., Division Director,

Program Implementation Division,

Mitigation Directorate, 500 C Street,

SW., Room 417, Washington, DC 20472,

(202) 646–3619.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP

enables property owners to purchase

flood insurance which is generally not

otherwise available. In return,

communities agree to adopt and

administer local floodplain management

aimed at protecting lives and new

construction from future flooding.

Section 1315 of the National Flood

Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, 42

U.S.C. 4022, prohibits flood insurance

coverage as authorized under the

National Flood Insurance Program, 42

U.S.C. 4001 et seq., unless an

appropriate public body adopts

adequate floodplain management

measures with effective enforcement

measures. The communities listed in

this document no longer meet that

statutory requirement for compliance

with program regulations, 44 CFR part

59 et seq. Accordingly, the communities

will be suspended on the effective date

in the third column. As of that date,

flood insurance will no longer be

available in the community. However,

some of these communities may adopt

and submit the required documentation

of legally enforceable floodplain

management measures after this rule is

published but prior to the actual

suspension date. These communities

will not be suspended and will continue

their eligibility for the sale of insurance.

A notice withdrawing the suspension of

the communities will be published in

the Federal Register.

In addition, the Federal Emergency

Management Agency has identified the

special flood hazard areas in these

communities by publishing a Flood

Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). The date of

the FIRM if one has been published, is

indicated in the fourth column of the

table. No direct Federal financial

assistance (except assistance pursuant to

the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief

and Emergency Assistance Act not in

connection with a flood) may legally be

provided for construction or acquisition

of buildings in the identified special

flood hazard area of communities not

participating in the NFIP and identified

for more than a year, on the Federal

Emergency Management Agency’s

initial flood insurance map of the

community as having flood-prone areas

(section 202(a) of the Flood Disaster

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

4106(a), as amended). This prohibition

against certain types of Federal

assistance becomes effective for the

communities listed on the date shown

in the last column.

The Executive Associate Director

finds that notice and public comment

under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable

and unnecessary because communities

listed in this final rule have been

adequately notified.

Each community receives a 6-month,

90-day, and 30-day notification

addressed to the Chief Executive Officer

that the community will be suspended

unless the required floodplain

management measures are met prior to

the effective suspension date. Since

these notifications have been made, this

final rule may take effect within less

than 30 days.

National Environmental Policy Act.

This rule is categorically excluded from

the requirements of 44 CFR Part 10,

Environmental Considerations. No

environmental impact assessment has

been prepared.

Regulatory Flexibility Act. The

Executive Associate Director has

determined that this rule is exempt from

the requirements of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act because the National

Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as

amended, 42 U.S.C. 4022, prohibits

flood insurance coverage unless an

appropriate public body adopts

adequate floodplain management

measures with effective enforcement

measures. The communities listed no

longer comply with the statutory

requirements, and after the effective

date, flood insurance will no longer be

available in the communities unless

they take remedial action.

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.

Paperwork Reduction Act. This rule

does not involve any collection of

information for purposes of the

Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C.

3501 et seq.

Executive Order 12612, Federalism.

This rule involves no policies that have

federalism implications under Executive

Order 12612, Federalism, October 26,

1987, 3 CFR, 1987 Comp., p. 252.

Executive Order 12778, Civil Justice

Reform. This rule meets the applicable

standards of section 2(b)(2) of Executive

Order 12778, October 25, 1991, 56 FR

55195, 3 CFR, 1991 Comp., p. 309.
