FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY

44 CFR Part 64

[Docket No. FEMA–7613] List of Communities Eligible for the Sale of Flood Insurance AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: This rule identifies communities participating in the National Flood Insurance Program

(NFIP). These communities have

applied to the program and have agreed

to enact certain floodplain management measures. The communities’ participation in the program authorizes

the sale of flood insurance to owners of property located in the communities

listed. EFFECTIVE DATES: The dates listed in the

third column of the table. ADDRESSES: Flood insurance policies for property located in the communities

listed can be obtained from any licensed

property insurance agent or broker serving the eligible community, or from

the NFIP at: Post Office Box 6464, Rockville, MD 20849, (800) 638–6620. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert F. Shea, Jr., Division Director, Program Implementation Division, Mitigation Directorate, 500 C Street, SW., room 417, Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646–3619. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP

enables property owners to purchase

flood insurance which is generally not otherwise available. In return, communities agree to adopt and

administer local floodplain management measures aimed at protecting lives and

new construction from future flooding. Since the communities on the attached

list have recently entered the NFIP, subsidized flood insurance is now

available for property in the community. In addition, the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency has identified the special flood hazard

areas in some of these communities by publishing a Flood Hazard Boundary Map (FHBM) or Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). The date of the flood map, if one has been published, is indicated

in the fourth column of the table. In the

communities listed where a flood map

has been published, Section 102 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4012(a), requires

the purchase of flood insurance as a

condition of Federal or federally related

financial assistance for acquisition or construction of buildings in the special

flood hazard areas shown on the map. The Director finds that the delayed

effective dates would be contrary to the public interest. The Director also finds

that notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and

unnecessary. National Environmental Policy Act. This rule is categorically excluded from

the requirements of 44 CFR Part 10, Environmental Considerations. No

environmental impact assessment has been prepared. Regulatory Flexibility Act. The Associate Director certifies that this rule will not have a significant economic

impact on a substantial number of small entities in accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U. S. C. 601

et seq., because the rule creates no

additional burden, but lists those

communities eligible for the sale of

flood insurance. Regulatory Classification. This final 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. Paperwork Reduction Act. This rule does not involve any collection of

information for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. Executive Order 12612, Federalism. This rule involves no policies that have

federalism implications under Executive Order 12612, Federalism, October 26, 1987, 3 CFR, 1987 Comp., p. 252. Executive Order 12778, Civil Justice Reform. This rule meets the applicable

standards of section 2(b)(2) of Executive Order 12778, October 25, 1991, 56 FR

55195, 3 CFR, 1991 Comp., p. 309. List of Subjects in 44 CFR Part 64 Flood insurance, Floodplains. Accordingly, 44 CFR part 64 is amended as follows: PART 64—[AMENDED] 1. The authority citation for Part 64

50 CFR Part 672

[Docket No. 950206041–5041–01; I.D. 031595B] Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska; Vessels Using Hook-and-Line Gear AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce. ACTION: Closure. SUMMARY: NMFS is prohibiting directed

fishing for groundfish by vessels using hook-and-line gear in the Gulf of Alaska

(GOA), except for demersal shelf rockfish (DSR) in the Southeast Outside district and sablefish. This action is necessary because the first seasonal bycatch allowance of Pacific halibut apportioned to hook-and-line gear in the GOA for the 1995 fishing year has been

reached. EFFECTIVE DATE: 12 noon, Alaska local

time (A.l.t.), March 16, 1995, until 12 noon, A.l.t., May 18, 1995. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrew N. Smoker, 907–586-7228. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

groundfish fishery in the GOA exclusive

economic zone is managed by NMFS

according to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska (FMP) prepared by the North

Pacific Fishery Management Council under authority of the Magnuson

Fishery Conservation and Management Act. Fishing by U.S. vessels is governed

by regulations implementing the FMP at 50 CFR parts 620 and 672. In accordance with

§ 672.20(f)(1)(ii)(A), the 1995 Pacific halibut bycatch allowance for hook-andline gear for groundfish fisheries in the GOA, other than DSR in the Southeast Outside district, was established by the

final groundfish specifications (60 FR

8470, February 14, 1995), as 740 metric

tons (mt). The first seasonal allocation

of that allowance is 200 mt. GOA hook- and-line gear sablefish fisheries are

exempted from halibut bycatch

restrictions (60 FR 12149, March 6, 1995), as amended by a document published on March 21, 1995 in the Federal Register. The Director, Alaska Region, NMFS, has determined, in accordance with

§ 672.20(f)(3)(ii)(A), that the catch of Pacific halibut by operators of vessels using hook-and-line gear in groundfish

fisheries other than the directed fishery

for DSR in the Southeast Outside District has reached the first seasonal bycatch allowance of Pacific halibut. Therefore, NMFS is prohibiting directed

fishing for groundfish by vessels using hook-and-line gear in the GOA, except

this prohibition does not apply to

vessels engaged in directed fishing for DSR in the Southeast Outside district or

to vessels engaged in directed fishing for sablefish. Directed fishing standards for applicable gear types may be found in

the regulations at § 672.20(g).

Classification This action is taken under 50 CFR

672.20 and is exempt from review under E.O. 12866. Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq. Dated: March 16, 1995. David S. Crestin, Acting Director, Office of Fisheries Conservation and Management, National Marine Fisheries Service. [FR Doc. 95–6942 Filed 3–16–95; 4:18 pm] BILLING CODE 3510–22–F

50 CFR Part 672

[Docket No. 950206041–5041–01; I.D. 031695B] Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska; Pacific Cod for Processing by the

Inshore Component in the Western Regulatory Area AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce. ACTION: Closure. SUMMARY: NMFS is closing the directed

fishery for Pacific cod by vessels catching Pacific cod for processing by

the inshore component in the Western Regulatory Area of the Gulf of Alaska

(GOA). This action is necessary to prevent exceeding the allocation of Pacific cod for the inshore component

in this area. EFFECTIVE DATE: 12 noon, Alaska local

time (A.l.t.), March 17, 1995, until 12 midnight, A.l.t., December 31, 1995. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrew N. Smoker, 907–586-7228. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

groundfish fishery in the GOA exclusive
