SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA is 

seeking public comment regarding its 

preliminary determination that no 

significant environmental impacts are 

anticipated from the proposed action, 

based on FEMA’s reevaluation of the 

2011 PEA for Safe Room Construction. 

FEMA invites the public to submit 

comments through https://

www.regulations.gov during the 30-day 

comment period following the 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. The 2011 PEA and 2024 SPEA 

are available in docket ID FEMA–2024– 

0026. For access to the docket, go to 

https://www.regulations.gov and search 

for the docket ID. 

The supplemental reevaluation 

process, which is documented by the 

SPEA, indicates that no potential 

significant adverse environmental 

impacts are anticipated from the 

proposed action. Based on the 

supplemental environmental impact 

analysis in the SPEA, FEMA has 

determined that no significant 

environmental impacts are anticipated 

from the construction, retrofit, or 

renovation of eligible safe room projects 

and the proposed action does not 

constitute a major Federal action 

significantly affecting the quality of the 

human environment, making the 

preparation of an Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) unnecessary. Therefore, 

FEMA will issue a final SPEA and 

FONSI. 

Authorities: National Environmental 

Policy Act (NEPA), as amended, 42 

U.S.C. 4331 et seq. and 40 CFR 1500.1 

et seq.

after incorporating the updated analysis 

and revisions contained in the SPEA.
