Technical Amendments to OMB

Approval Numbers

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is amending the list of

OMB control numbers which are issued

under the Paperwork Reduction Act for

regulations with information collection

requirements. This is a technical

amendment which only updates the

table to include any approvals that have

published in the Federal Register since

July 1, 1995, or to delete any approval

that have been terminated since that

date.

DATES: The effective date of this rule is

July 1, 1996.

Environmental Assistance Division,

Environmental Protection Agency, 401

Telephone: (202) 554–1404, TDD: (202)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

document will consolidate the OMB

control numbers for various regulations

issued under the Toxic Substances

Control Act and section 313 of the

Emergency Planning and Community

Right-to-Know Act that have published

since July 1, 1995.

The information collection requests

and the OMB control numbers included

in this technical amendment were

previously subject to public notice and

comment prior to OMB approval. As

such, EPA finds that there is ‘‘good

cause’’ under section 553(b)(B) of the

Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.

533) to issue this technical amendment

without prior notice and comment.

FEDERAL EMERGENCY

MANAGEMENT AGENCY

44 CFR Part 65

Changes in Flood Elevation

Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency

Management Agency (FEMA).

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: Modified base (1% annual

chance) flood elevations are finalized

for the communities listed below. These

modified elevations will be used to

calculate flood insurance premium rates

for new buildings and their contents.

EFFECTIVE DATES: The effective dates for

these modified base flood elevations are

indicated on the following table and

revise the Flood Insurance Rate Map(s)

in effect for each listed community prior

to this date.

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:

Michael K. Buckley, P.E., Chief, Hazard

Identification Branch, Mitigation

Directorate, 500 C Street SW.,

Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646–2756.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Federal Emergency Management Agency

makes the final determinations listed

below of the final determinations of

modified base flood elevations 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 Acting Associate

Director has resolved any appeals

resulting from this notification.

The modified base flood elevations

are not listed for each community in

this notice. However, this rule includes

the address of the Chief Executive

Officer of the community where the

modified base flood elevation

determinations are available for

inspection.

The modifications are made pursuant

to Section 206 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

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 modified 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.

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 Acting Associate Director,

Mitigation 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 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.

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

Flood insurance, Floodplains,

Reporting and recordkeeping

requirements.

Accordingly, 44 CFR Part 65 is
