SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to

be deleted from the NPL is: National

Lead Industries/Taracorp/Golden Auto

Parts Site located in St. Louis Park,

Minnesota. A Notice of Intent to Delete

for this site was published April 3, 1998

(63 FR 16465). The closing date for

comments on the Notice of Intent to

Delete was May 4, 1998. EPA received

no comments and therefore no

Responsiveness Summary was prepared.

The EPA identifies sites which appear

to present a significant risk to public

health, welfare, or the environment and

it maintains the NPL as the list of those

sites. Sites on the NPL may be the

subject of Hazardous Substance

Response Trust Fund (Fund-) financed

remedial actions. Any site deleted from

the NPL remains eligible for Fundfinanced remedial actions in the

unlikely event that conditions at the site

warrant such action. Section

300.425(e)(3) of the NCP states that

Fund-financed actions may be taken at

sites deleted from the NPL in the

unlikely event that conditions at the site

warrant such action. Deletion of a site

from the NPL does not affect responsible

party liability or impede agency efforts

to recover costs associated with

response efforts.

FEDERAL EMERGENCY

MANAGEMENT AGENCY

44 CFR Part 65

RIN 3067–AC81

National Flood Insurance Program;

Removal of Form

AGENCY: Federal Emergency

Management Agency (FEMA).

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This rule removes appendix A

to part 65, which contains the FEMA

Standard Flood Hazard Determination

form, and removes reference to the form

and tells readers how to obtain copies

of it. The form is used in the process of

making, increasing, extending,

renewing, selling, or transferring

mortgages to ensure that buildings and

mobile homes located in an identified

Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) are

covered by flood insurance. FEMA will

publish notices of the availability of the

form from time to time; the form is also

available by fax-on-demand and on the

Internet at FEMA’s web site. Removal of

the form from the CFR will enhance

FEMA’s ability to incorporate changes

to the form outside of the rulemaking

process, while continuing to provide

full notice of availability of the form to

the public and to affected parties.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective on

May 21, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Matthew B. Miller, P.E., Mitigation

Directorate, Federal Emergency

Management Agency, 500 C Street SW.,

Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646–3461,

or by facsimile at (202) 646–4596 (not

toll-free calls) for additional

information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION. As part of

our implementation of the National

Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994,

FEMA published a final rule at 60 FR

35276, July 6, 1995, to establish a

standard form for determining whether

a building or mobile home is located in

an SFHA, whether flood insurance is

required, and whether Federal flood

insurance is available. The federal

entities for lending regulation published

a final rule (60 FR 35286, July 6, 1995)

requiring use of the form. Use of the

form by federally regulated lenders

became mandatory on January 2, 1996.

The OMB number for the current form

expires on April 30, 1998 but OMB has

extended the expiration date for an

additional 90 days.

During the two years that this form

has been in use, many users have

commented on the form asking FEMA to

make minor changes and clarifications.

By separate notice published today in

the Federal Register we propose

changes to the form and we request

comments on the proposed changes

from the public and from other Federal

agencies.

This rule removes Appendix A to Part

65—Federal Emergency Management

Agency, Standard Flood Hazard

Determination Form and Instructions.

The form will continue in use and will

continue to be available by written

request, by fax-on-demand, and through

the Internet at http://www.fema.gov/

nfip/mpurfi.htm. Removal of the form

from the Code of Federal Regulations

will enhance FEMA’s ability to

incorporate changes to the form outside

of the rulemaking process, while

continuing to provide full notice of the

availability of the form to the public and

to affected parties.

This rule also revises 44 CFR 65.16,

Standard Flood Hazard Determination

Form and instructions. The revision

removes the reference to the form and

instructions being found in Appendix A

to Part 65 and tells how readers can

obtain copies of the form and its

accompanying instructions.

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory

Planning and Review

This final rule is not a significant

regulatory action within the meaning of

§ 2(f) of E.O. 12866 of September 30,

1993, 58 FR 51735, but attempts to

adhere to the regulatory principles set

forth in E.O. 12866. The rule has not

been reviewed by the Office of

Management and Budget under E.O.

12866.

Regulatory Flexibility Act.

The Director certifies that this rule is

not a major rule under Executive Order

12291. It will not have significant

impact on a substantial number of small

entities within the meaning of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act, and is not

expected (1) to affect adversely the

availability of disaster assistance
