SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

proposal addresses the correction of a 

final rule EPA promulgated on March 9, 

2005 (at 70 FR 11553) approving two 

submittals of revisions to the Arizona 

state implementation plan, 

redesignating the metropolitan Phoenix 

carbon monoxide area to attainment, 

and redesignating the boundary of the 

metropolitan Phoenix carbon monoxide 

area to exclude the Gila River Indian 

Reservation. In the Rules section of this 

Federal Register, we are taking direct 

final action to correct the State of 

Arizona’s adoption and submittal date 

for one of the plan revisions that we 

approved in our March 9, 2005 final 

rule, to correct a transcription error in 

the description of the boundary of the 

metropolitan Phoenix carbon monoxide 

area, and to correct the description of 

the boundary of the metropolitan 

Phoenix carbon monoxide area 

promulgated in our March 9, 2005 final 

rule without prior proposal because we 

believe this correction action is not 

controversial. If we receive adverse 

comments, however, we will publish a 

timely withdrawal of the direct final 

rule and address the comments in 

subsequent action based on this 

proposed rule. We do not plan to open 

a second comment period, so anyone 

interested in commenting should do so 

at this time. If we do not receive 

comments, no further activity is 

planned. For further information, please 

see the direct final action. 

Dated: July 15, 2005.

Proposed Flood Elevation 

Determinations 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA), 

Emergency Preparedness and Response 

Directorate, Department of Homeland 

Security. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: Technical information or 

comments are requested on the 

proposed Base (1% annual chance) 

Flood Elevations (BFEs) and proposed 

BFE modifications for the communities 

listed below. The BFEs are the basis for 

the floodplain management measures 

that the community is required either to 

adopt or to show evidence of being 

already in effect in order to qualify or 

remain qualified for participation in the 

National Flood Insurance Program 

(NFIP). 

DATES: The comment period is ninety 

(90) days following the second 

publication of this proposed rule in a 

newspaper of local circulation in each 

community. 

ADDRESSES: The proposed BFEs 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 

table below.

Identification Section, Emergency 

Preparedness and Response Directorate, 

FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington, 

DC 20472, (202) 646–2903. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA 

proposes to make determinations of 

BFEs and modified BFEs for each 

community listed below, in accordance 

with Section 110 of the Flood Disaster 

Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, 

and 44 CFR 67.4(a). 

These proposed base flood elevations 

and modified BFEs, 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 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. These 

proposed elevations are used to meet 

the floodplain management 

requirements of the NFIP and are also 

used to calculate the appropriate flood 

insurance premium rates for new 

buildings built after these elevations are 

made final, and for the contents in these 

buildings. 

National Environmental Policy Act. 

This proposed 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 

Mitigation Division Director of the 

52962 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 171 / Tuesday, September 6, 2005 / Proposed Rules 

Emergency Preparedness and Response 

Directorate certifies that this proposed 

rule is exempt from the requirements of 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act because 

proposed or modified BFEs are required 

by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 

1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and are required 

to establish and maintain community 

eligibility in the NFIP. As a result, a 

regulatory flexibility analysis has not 

been prepared. 

Regulatory Classification. This 

proposed 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 proposed rule involves no policies 

that have federalism implications under 

Executive Order 12612, Federalism, 

dated October 26, 1987. 

Executive Order 12778, Civil Justice 

Reform. This proposed rule meets the 

applicable standards of Section 2(b)(2) 

of Executive Order 12778.
