SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to

be deleted from the NPL is: H & K Sales

Site located in Belding, Michigan. A

Notice of Intent to Delete for this site

was published March 30, 1998 (63 FR

15125). The closing date for comments

on the Notice of Intent to Delete was

April 29, 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
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 98 /Thursday, May 21, 1998 /Rules and Regulations 27857

funding to small entities, (2) to have

significant secondary or incidental

effects on a substantial number of small

entities, or (3) to create any additional

burden on small entities. FEMA has not

prepared a regulatory flexibility analysis

of this proposed rule.

Paperwork Reduction Act

This final rule does not contain a

collection of information and therefore

is not subject to the provisions of the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

Congressional Review of Agency

Rulemaking

This final rule has been submitted to

the Congress and to the General

Accounting Office under the

Congressional Review of Agency

Rulemaking Act, Pub. L. 104–121. The

rule is not a ‘‘major rule’’ within the

meaning of that Act. It is an

administrative action in support of

normal day-to-day activities. It does not

result in nor is it likely to result in an

annual effect on the economy of

$100,000,000 or more; it will not result

in a major increase in costs or prices for

consumers, individual industries,

Federal, State, or local government

agencies, or geographic regions; and it

will not have ‘‘significant adverse

effects’’ on competition, employment,

investment, productivity, innovation, or

on the ability of United States-based

enterprises to compete with foreignbased enterprises.

This final rule is exempt (1) from the

requirements of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act, and (2) from the

Paperwork Reduction Act. The rule is

not an unfunded Federal mandate

within the meaning of the Unfunded

Mandates Reform Act of 1995, Pub.L.

104–4. It does not meet the

$100,000,000 threshold of that Act, and

any enforceable duties are imposed as a

condition of Federal assistance or a duty

arising from participation in a voluntary

Federal program.

List of Subjects in 44 CFR Part 65

Flood insurance, Reporting and

recordkeeping requirements.

Accordingly, 44 CFR Part 65 is

amended as follows:

PART 65—IDENTIFICATION AND

MAPPING OF SPECIAL HAZARD

AREAS

1. The authority citation for Part 65

continues to read as follows:

Authority: 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.;

Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1978, 43 FR

41943, 3 CFR, 1978 Comp., p. 329; E.O.

12127 of March 31, 1979, 44 FR 19367, 3

CFR, 1979 Comp, p. 376.

Appendix A to Part 65 [Removed]

2. Appendix A to Part 65—Federal

Emergency Management Agency,

Standard Flood Hazard Determination

Form and Instructions is removed.

3. Section 65.16 is revised to read as

follows:

§ 65.16 Standard Flood Hazard

Determination Form and Instructions.

(a) Section 528 of the National Flood

Insurance Reform Act of 1994 (42 U.S.C.

1365(a)) directs FEMA to develop a

standard form for determining, in the

case of a loan secured by improved real

estate or a mobile home, whether the

building or mobile home is located in an

area identified by the Director as an area

having special flood hazards and in

which flood insurance under this title is

available. The purpose of the form is to

determine whether a building or mobile

home is located within an identified

Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA),

whether flood insurance is required,

and whether federal flood insurance is

available. Use of this form will ensure

that required flood insurance coverage

is purchased for structures located in an

SFHA, and will assist federal entities for

lending regulation in assuring

compliance with these purchase

requirements.

(b) The form is available by written

request to Federal Emergency

Management Agency, PO Box 2012,

Jessup, MD 20794; ask for the Standard

Flood Hazard Determination form. It is

also available by fax-on-demand; call

(202) 646–3362, form # 23103. Finally,

the form is available through the

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

mpurfi.htm.
