FEDERAL EMERGENCY

MANAGEMENT AGENCY

44 CFR Part 65

[Docket No. FEMA–B–7412]

Changes in Flood Elevation

Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency

Management Agency (FEMA).

ACTION: Interim rule.

SUMMARY: This interim rule lists

communities where modification of the

base (1% annual chance) flood

elevations is appropriate because of new

scientific or technical data. New flood

insurance premium rates will be

calculated from the modified base flood

elevations for new buildings and their

contents.

DATES: These modified base flood

elevations are currently in effect on the

dates listed in the table below and

revise the Flood Insurance Rate Map(s)

in effect prior to this determination for

each listed community.

From the date of the second

publication of these changes in a

newspaper of local circulation, any

person has ninety (90) days in which to

request through the community that the

Associate Director for Mitigation

reconsider the changes. The modified

elevations may be changed during the

90-day period.

ADDRESSES: The modified base flood

elevations for each community are

available for inspection at the office of

the Chief Executive Officer of each

community. The respective addresses

are listed in the following table.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Matthew B. Miller, P.E., Chief, Hazards

Study Branch, Mitigation Directorate,

500 C Street SW., Washington, DC

20472, (202) 646–3461, or (e-mail)

matt.miller@fema.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

modified base flood elevations are not

listed for each community in this

interim rule. However, the address of

the Chief Executive Officer of the

community where the modified base

flood elevation determinations are

available for inspection is provided.

Any request for reconsideration must

be based on knowledge of changed

conditions, or upon new scientific or

technical data.

The modifications are made pursuant

to section 201 of the Flood Disaster

Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105,

and are in accordance with the National

Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C.

4001 et seq., and with 44 CFR part 65.

For rating purposes, the currently

effective community number is shown

and must be used for all new policies

and renewals.

The modified base flood elevations

are the basis for the floodplain

management measures that the

community is required to either adopt

or to show evidence of being already in

effect in order to qualify or to remain

qualified for participation in the

National Flood Insurance Program

(NFIP).

These modified elevations, together

with the floodplain management criteria

required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the

minimum that are required. They

should not be construed to mean that

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 82 / Friday, April 27, 2001 / Rules and Regulations 21103

the community must change any

existing ordinances that are more

stringent in their floodplain

management requirements. The

community may at any time enact

stricter requirements of its own, or

pursuant to policies established by other

Federal, State, or regional entities.

The changes in base flood elevations

are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.

National Environmental Policy Act

This rule is categorically excluded

from the requirements of 44 CFR part

10, Environmental Consideration. No

environmental impact assessment has

been prepared.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

The Associate Director for Mitigation

certifies that this rule is exempt from

the requirements of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act because modified base

flood elevations are required by the

Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973,

42 U.S.C. 4105, and are required to

maintain community eligibility in the

NFIP. No regulatory flexibility analysis

has been prepared.

Regulatory Classification

This interim 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.

Executive Order 12612, Federalism

This rule involves no policies that

have federalism implications under

Executive Order 12612, Federalism,

dated October 26, 1987.

Executive Order 12778, Civil Justice

Reform

This rule meets the applicable

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

Order 12778.

List of Subjects in 44 CFR Part 65

The Pay Telephone Reclassification

and Compensation Provisions of The

Telecommunications Act of 1996,

RBOC/GTE/SNET Payphone Coalition

Petition for Clarification

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: In this document, the Federal

Communications Commission (FCC or

Commission) modified the

Commission’s rules regarding per-call

compensation for payphone calls to

better ensure that payphone service

providers (PSPs) are fairly compensated

for all completed, coinless calls made

from payphones. The Commission

revised its rules to address the difficulty

that PSPs face in obtaining

compensation for coinless calls placed

from payphones that involve a switchbased telecommunications reseller in

the call path. Given the difficulty of

determining which entity is responsible

for compensating the PSP for such calls

(i.e., the switch-based reseller or the

interexchange carrier that routes calls to

the switch-based reseller), the

Commission modified its rules to

require the first underlying facilitiesbased interexchange carrier (IXC) to

whom the local exchange carrier (LEC)

directly delivers such calls to

compensate the PSP for the completed

coinless calls.

DATES: Effective April 27, 2001.

Synopsis of the Second Order on

Reconsideration

In implementing Section 276 of the

Act—which requires the Commission to

prescribe regulations ensuring that all

PSPs are fairly compensated for every

completed intrastate and interstate call,

including coinless ‘‘access code’’ or

‘‘subscriber 800’’ calls dialed from their

payphones—the Commission adopted

several payphone compensation rules in

its First Payphone Order, 61 FR 52309,

October 7, 1996. In the Payphone Order

On Reconsideration, 61 FR 65341,

December 12, 1996, the Commission

revised the payphone compensation

responsibilities for calls involving

switch-based resellers. In 1998, the

Common Carrier Bureau released the

Coding Digit Waiver Order, 63 FR

26497, May 13, 1998, further clarifying

the Payphone Order on

Reconsideration. In that Order, the

Common Carrier Bureau clarified

switch-based reseller responsibilities for

paying per-call compensation in order

to clarify IXC obligations to disclose

information about their switch-based

resellers. The purpose of that order was

to help ensure that PSPs knew from

whom to expect compensation for

coinless calls, to avoid the problem of

entities disclaiming responsibility for

such calls. Finally, in a recent order, the

Commission concluded that the

Payphone Order on Reconsideration

and the Common Carrier Bureau’s

Coding Digit Waiver Order placed the

tracking and compensation obligations

squarely on facilities-based carriers,

including facilities-based resellers. We

found that, despite of our efforts to

ensure that PSPs are compensated for

coinless calls in instances in which

switch-based resellers are involved in

routing coinless calls from payphones to

end-users, there remained uncertainty

in the market, and PSPs have been

frustrated in their efforts to receive

compensation for certain coinless calls.

In this Second Order on

Reconsideration, we require the first

facilities-based interexchange carrier to

which a LEC routes a compensable

coinless payphone call to: (1)

Compensate the PSP for completed calls

at a mutually agreeable rate; (2) track or

arrange for tracking of the call to

determine whether it is completed and

therefore compensable; and (3) provide

to the PSP a statement of the number of

coinless calls it receives from each of

that PSP’s payphones. We also require

each reseller or debit card customer

whose number is dialed on a coinless

basis to reimburse the first facilitiesbased carrier for the amount paid by

that carrier to the PSP and for that

carrier’s cost of tracking the call and

providing such information to the PSP.

We also encourage PSPs and switchbased resellers to enter into private

contractual arrangements with each

other for direct payment of

compensation to PSPs.

We decline to initiate a further

rulemaking proceeding, at this time,

which would propose that the carrier

responsible for compensation is the

entity identified by the Carrier

Identification Code (CIC) used to route

the call. Most commenters generally

opposed the proposal. For the purpose

of determining payphone compensation

responsibilities, the proposal would not

likely be an improvement over the

existing rules as clarified in this Second

Order on Reconsideration. Even if all

carriers had CICs, they would still need

to look to subsequent carriers in the

routing sequence for payphone call

completion information to fulfill their

compensation responsibilities. By

ensuring that PSPs are consistently able

to obtain per call compensation from a

readily identifiable, responsible carrier,

the first facilities-based interexchange

carrier, we resolve the issues before us

without a further rulemaking on CICs at

this time.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act,

5 U.S.C. 605(b), there will not be a

significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small business

entities resulting from this Second

Order on Reconsideration. Although the

revised rules provide that the first

underlying facilities-based

interexchange carrier is initially

responsible for payment and tracking of

all compensable payphone calls, the
