44 CFR Part 67 

[Docket No. FEMA–P–7699] 

Proposed Flood Elevation 

Determinations 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, 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 and modified 

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. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Doug Bellomo, P.E., Hazard 

Identification Section, Emergency 

Preparedness and Response Directorate, 

Federal Emergency Management 

Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, 

DC 20472, (202) 646–2903. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Emergency Management Agency 

makes the final determinations listed 

below for the modified BFEs for each 

community listed. These modified 

elevations have been published in 

newspapers of local circulation and 

ninety (90) days have elapsed since that 

publication. The Mitigation Division 

Director of the Emergency Preparedness 

and Response Directorate has resolved 

any appeals resulting from this 

notification. 

These proposed BFEs 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. 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 171 / Tuesday, September 6, 2005 / Proposed Rules 52977 

Regulatory Flexibility Act. The 

Mitigation Division Director of the 

Emergency Preparedness and Response 

Directorate 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 

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.
