ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: Base (1% annual chance) 

Flood Elevations (BFEs) and modified 

BFEs are made final for the 

communities listed below. The BFEs 

and modified BFEs are the basis for the 

floodplain management measures that 

each 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). 

EFFECTIVE DATES: The date of issuance of 

the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) 

showing BFEs and modified BFEs for 

each community. This date may be 

obtained by contacting the office where 

the maps are available for inspection as 

indicated on the table below. 

ADDRESSES: The final 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA 

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. 

This final rule is issued in accordance 

with Section 110 of the Flood Disaster 

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

and 44 CFR part 67.

property are encouraged to review the 

proof Flood Insurance Study and FIRM 

available at the address cited below for 

each community.

made final in the communities listed 

below. Elevations at selected locations 

in each community are shown.

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 

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 final 

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. No regulatory 

flexibility analysis has been prepared.

NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND 

SPACE ADMINISTRATION 

48 CFR Part 1802 

RIN AD13 

Head of Contracting Activity (HCA) 

Change for NASA Shared Services 

Center (NSSC) 

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and 

Space Administration (NASA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This final rule revises the 

NASA FAR Supplement (NFS) by 

amending the definition of ‘‘Contracting 

activity’’ and ‘‘Head of the contracting 

activity (HCA)’’ consistent with the 

mission of the NASA Shared Services 

Center (NSSC) which is to provide 

selected services in support of Human 

Resources, Procurement, Financial 

Management and Information 

Technology operations across the 

Agency. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 6, 2005. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Sheryl Goddard, NASA, Office of 

Procurement, Program Operations 

Division; (703) 553–2519; e-mail: 

Sheryl.Goddard@nasa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

On May 13, 2005, the Assistant 

Administrator for Procurement 

approved a deviation to NFS 1802.101 

to designate the Executive Director for 

the NSSC as head of the contracting 

activity for all contracts that directly 

support the NSSC. This final rule 

implements that deviation. 

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

This final rule does not constitute a 

significant revision within the meaning 

of FAR 1.501 and Public Law 98–577, 

and publication for public comment is 

not required. However, NASA will 

consider comments from small entities 

concerning the affected NFS Part 1802 

in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 610. 

C. Paperwork Reduction Act 

The Paperwork Reduction Act does 

not apply because the changes do not 

impose recordkeeping or information 

collection requirements which require 

the approval of the Office of 

Management and Budget under 44 

U.S.C. 3501, et seq. 

List of Subjects in 48 CFR Part 1802 

Government procurement. 

Tom Luedtke,

■ Accordingly, 48 CFR part 1802 is 

amended as follows:

AND TERMS 

■ 1. The authority citation for 48 CFR 

part 1802 continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 42 U.S.C. 2473(c)(1). 

■ 2. Amend section 1802.101 by 

revising the definition of ‘‘Contracting 

activity’’ and ‘‘Head of the contracting 

activity (HCA)’’ to read as follows: 

1802.101 Definitions. 

* * * * * 

‘‘Contracting activity’’ in NASA 

includes the NASA Headquarters 

installation, the NASA Shared Services 

Center, and the following field 

installations: Ames Research Center, 

Dryden Flight Research Center, Glenn 

Research Center at Lewis Field, 

Goddard Space Flight Center, Johnson 

Space Center, Kennedy Space Center, 

Langley Research Center, Marshall 

Space Flight Center and Stennis Space 

Center. A major program that may have 

contracts at multiple field centers may 

also be considered a ‘‘contracting 

activity.’’

* * * * * 

‘‘Head of the contracting activity 

(HCA)’’ means, for field installations, 

the Director or other head and, for 

NASA Headquarters, the Assistant 

Administrator for Management Systems.
