1The Municipality of Bayamo ́n is a new community (as a separate entity) that formerly participated under the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico’s

18, 1992 and September 20, 1996) for floodplain management and insurance purposes. (Panels No. 0047D, 048B, 0049, 0053C, 0108C, 0110C)

BILLING CODE 6718–05–P

44 CFR Part 64

[Docket No. FEMA–7656]

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rule, the suspension will be withdrawn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
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 8 / Monday, January 13, 1997 / Rules and Regulations 1689

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 Acting 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

Final Listing of High-Theft Lines for

1997 Model Year; Motor Vehicle Theft

Prevention Standard

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic

Safety Administration (NHTSA),

Department of Transportation.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY: This document corrects errors

in the final listing of high-theft lines for

the 1997 Model Year (MY), that was

published on April 8, 1996 (61 FR

15390) by incorporating information

that manufacturers brought to the

agency’s attention subsequent to the

final listing. In the amended list in this

document, three footnote errors are

corrected, errors in the names of three

Honda lines, the Acura CLX, the Acura

Legend, and the Acura Vigor are

corrected; and two Chrysler lines, the

Dodge Ramcharger (MPV) and the

Dodge Ram Wagon/Van B–150, three

General Motors’ lines, the Buick

Century, the GMC Sierra 1500 Pickup

and the C–1500 Pickup are removed; a

Chrysler line, the Jeep Grand Cherokee

(MPV), a Ford line, the Lincoln Town

Car, a General Motors’ line, the Geo

Prizm, and a Mercedes-Benz model, the

560 SL are added to Appendix A; a

Honda line, the Acura TL is removed

from Appendix A and added to

Appendix A–I, the Acura SLX is added

to Appendix A–I; a General Motors’

line, the Buick Regal is removed from

Appendix A–I and the Buick Regal/

Century line is added; and, the Buick

Park Avenue is removed from Appendix

A–II and added to Appendix A–I.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The amendment made

by this final rule is effective January 13,

1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.

Rosalind Proctor, Motor Vehicle Theft

Group, Office of Planning and

Consumer Programs, NHTSA, 400

Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, D.C.

(202) 493–2739.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NHTSA is

correcting errors in the final list of hightheft vehicle lines for Model Year (MY)

1997, that appeared in the Federal

Register on April 8, 1996 (61 FR 15390).

This correction document incorporates

updated information brought to

NHTSA’s attention subsequent to the

publication of the final list for MY 1997.

The following are corrections to

Appendix A of 49 CFR Part 541, the

Theft Prevention Standard:

The second footnote ‘‘1’’ erroneously

listed in Appendix A is correctly

redesignated as footnote ‘‘2’’.

Additionally, the Suzuki ‘‘X–90’’

erroneously listed in Appendix A with

a footnote reference of ‘‘1’’ is corrected

to indicate a footnote reference of ‘‘2’’,

and the Toyota ‘‘MR2’’ erroneously

listed with a footnote reference of ‘‘2’’

is correctly redesignated by removing

the footnote reference.

The Honda lines, erroneously listed as

‘‘Acura CLX’’, Acura Legend’’, and

‘‘Acura Vigor’’ have been identified

respectively, ‘‘Acura CL’’, ‘‘Acura RL’’

and ‘‘Acura TL’’. The General Motors’

line, erroneously listed as ‘‘Buick Regal’’

has been identified respectively, ‘‘Buick

Regal/Century’’.

Comments were received from

American Honda Motor Co., Inc.,

requesting that the ‘‘Acura TL’’ line

which was erroneously listed in

Appendix A, be deleted from the listing

because it has received a full exemption

from the parts-marking requirements

based on the installation of a qualified

antitheft device as standard equipment

on the entire line. The Honda ‘‘Acura

TL’’ which replaced the ‘‘Acura Vigor’’

will be deleted from Appendix A.

Comments were received from the

Chrysler Corporation, Automobiles

Peugeot, and Jaguar Cars, each

requesting that one vehicle line be

deleted from the list because it is no

longer being produced. Those lines are

the Chrysler ‘‘Dodge Ramcharger

(MPV)’’, the ‘‘Peugeot 405’’, and the

‘‘Jaguar XJ40’’. The Chrysler ‘‘Dodge

Ramcharger (MPV)’’ will be deleted

from Appendix A, since it was not

covered prior to MY 1997 and has not

been manufactured for sale in the

United States since MY 1995.

Additionally, the General Motors’

‘‘Buick Century’’ is removed from

Appendix A because it was not covered

by the Theft Prevention Standard prior

to MY 1997 and will not be produced

after the 1996 model year.

The agency understands Peugeot’s

and Jaguar’s reasons for requesting

deletion of the ‘‘405’’ and ‘‘XJ40’’ from

the list of vehicles subject to the partsmarking requirements of the Theft

Prevention Standard. However, NHTSA

cannot delete the ‘‘Peugeot 405’’ from

the list because it has been covered by

the Theft Prevention Standard since MY

1989, and the ‘‘Jaguar XJ40’’ has been

covered since the 1987 model year.

Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 33104(d), a

vehicle line on the list of lines subject

to parts marking cannot be removed

from that list unless the manufacturer

has obtained an exemption from the

parts-marking requirement based on the

installation of a qualified antitheft

device as standard equipment on the

entire line.

The Chrysler ‘‘Dodge Ram Wagon/Van

B–150’’, the General Motors’ ‘‘GMC

Sierra 1500 Pickup’’ and the ‘‘Chevrolet

C–1500 Pickup’’ are removed from

Appendix A, as they are rated at more

than 6,000 pounds gross vehicle weight.

The ‘‘Jeep Grand Cherokee (MPV)’’ is

added to the Chrysler listing in

Appendix A; and Ford’s line, the

‘‘Lincoln Town Car’’, the General

Motors’ line, the ‘‘Geo Prizm’’, and the

Mercedes-Benz model, ‘‘560 SL’’ were

inadvertently left out in the final list for
