[Docket ID FEMA–2010–0003; Internal

Proposed Flood Elevation 

Determinations 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, DHS. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on 

the proposed Base (1% annual-chance) 

Flood Elevations (BFEs) and proposed 

BFE modifications for the communities 

listed in the table below. The purpose 

of this notice is to seek general 

information and comment regarding the 

proposed regulatory flood elevations for 

the reach described by the downstream 

and upstream locations in the table 

below. The BFEs and modified BFEs are 

a part of the floodplain management 

measures that the community is 

required either to adopt or to show 

evidence of having in effect in order to 

qualify or remain qualified for 

participation in the National Flood 

Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, 

these elevations, once finalized, will be 

used by insurance agents and others to 

calculate appropriate flood insurance 

premium rates for new buildings and 

the contents in those buildings. 

DATES: Comments are to be submitted 

on or before January 5, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: The corresponding 

preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map 

(FIRM) for the proposed BFEs for each 

community is available for inspection at 

the community’s map repository. The 

respective addresses are listed in the 

table below. 

You may submit comments, identified 

by Docket No. FEMA–B–1145, to Roy E. 

Wright, Deputy Director, Risk Analysis 

Division, Federal Insurance and 

Mitigation Administration, Federal 

Emergency Management Agency, 500 C

Analysis Division, Federal Insurance

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Emergency Management Agency 

(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 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

62062 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 194 / Thursday, October 7, 2010 / Proposed Rules 

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 also are 

used to calculate the appropriate flood 

insurance premium rates for new 

buildings built after these elevations are 

made final, and for the contents in those 

buildings. 

Comments on any aspect of the Flood 

Insurance Study and FIRM, other than 

the proposed BFEs, will be considered. 

A letter acknowledging receipt of any 

comments will not be sent. 

National Environmental Policy Act. 

This proposed rule is categorically 

excluded from the requirements of 44 

CFR part 10, Environmental 

Consideration. An environmental 

impact assessment has not been 

prepared. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act. As flood 

elevation determinations are not within 

the scope of the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, a regulatory 

flexibility analysis is not required. 

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory 

Planning and Review. This proposed 

rule is not a significant regulatory action 

under the criteria of section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866, as amended. 

Executive Order 13132, Federalism. 

This proposed rule involves no policies 

that have federalism implications under 

Executive Order 13132. 

Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice 

Reform. This proposed rule meets the 

applicable standards of Executive Order 

12988.

SUMMARY: The Civilian Agency

Councils) are proposing to amend the 

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to 

revise section 25.702, Prohibition on 

contracting with entities that conduct 

restricted business operations in Sudan, 

to add specific criteria that an agency 

must address in a waiver request and a 

waiver consultation process regarding 

foreign policy aspects of the waiver 

request for consultations. This 

information will be provided, in a 

waiver request, to the President or his 

appointed designee for consideration on 

whether the prohibition on awarding a 

contract to a contractor that conducts 

business in Sudan should be waived. 

DATES: Interested parties should submit 

written comments to the Regulatory 

Secretariat on or before December 6, 

2010 to be considered in the 

formulation of a final rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

The Civilian Agency Acquisition 

Council and the Defense Acquisition 

Regulations Council (Councils) 

published a final rule, FAR Case 2008– 

004, Prohibition on Restricted Business 

Operations in Sudan and Imports from 

Burma, in the Federal Register at 74 FR 

40463 on August 11, 2009, amending 

the FAR to implement section 6 of the 

Sudan Accountability and Divestment 

Act of 2007, Public Law 110–174. 

Section 6 requires certification in each 

contract entered into by an Executive 

Agency that the contractor does not 

conduct certain business operations in 

Sudan as described in the act. 

Additionally, section 6 establishes the 

President’s authority to waive this 

requirement, on a case-by-case basis, if 

the President determines and certifies in 

writing to the appropriate congressional 

committees that it is in the national 

interest to do so. 

Section 6 of the Sudan Accountability 

and Divestment Act of 2007 was 

implemented in the FAR but did not 

include a waiver consultation process 

and specific criteria for the waiver 

request. With the addition of these 

changes, the FAR will provide 

consistent guidance on specific criteria 

that must be included in the waiver 

request for consideration; and establish 

a consultation process to ensure all 

waiver request are reviewed by the 

appropriate agency experts. 

The Councils propose to amend FAR 

25.702–4 to add (1) waiver criteria that 

agencies must address when requesting 

a waiver to enter into a contract with a 

firm that conducts restricted business 

operations in Sudan that will include 

specific criteria for the waiver request; 

and (2) a waiver consultation process 

that will require all requests to be 

submitted through the Office of Federal 

Procurement Policy (OFPP) to the 

President or his appointed designee for 

consideration. OFPP will be required to 

consult with the President’s National 

Security Council, Office of African 

Affairs and the Department of State 

Sudan Office and Sanctions Office on 

foreign policy matters relevant to the 

waiver request and include this 

information in the recommendation to 

the President. All waiver requests must 

clearly explain why the product or 

service must be procured from the 

offeror for which the waiver is requested 

and why it is in the national interest to 

waive the statutory prohibition against 

contracting with an offeror that 

conducts prohibited business operations 

in Sudan. In addition, the waiver 

request must address any humanitarian 

efforts engaged in by the offeror, the 

human rights impact of doing business 

with that offeror, and the extent of the 

offeror’s business operations in Sudan. 

All of the information required to be 

included in the waiver request will be 

considered in determining whether to 

recommend that the President waive the 

prohibition. 

Additionally, individual and class 

waiver requests will be considered for a 

specific contract or class of contracts, as 

long as the waiver request has been 

reviewed and cleared by the agency 

head prior to submitting it to OFPP and 

the request includes the appropriate 

waiver information specified at FAR 

25.702–4(c)(3). However, a waiver will 

not be issued for an indefinite period of 

time, and may be cancelled, if 

warranted. 

In accordance with section 6 of the 

Sudan Accountability and Divestment 

Act of 2007, the Administrator of 

Federal Procurement Policy is required 

to submit semiannual reports, on April 

15th and October 15th, to Congress, on 

waivers approved by the President. 

OFPP has submitted two reports to 

Congress since the publication of the 

first rule, FAR Case 2008–004, 

Prohibition on Restricted Business 

Operations in Sudan and Imports from 

Burma, but is proposing to include this 

reporting requirement in the FAR to 

emphasize this waiver process and 

reporting requirement. 

This is a significant regulatory action 

and, therefore, was subject to review 

under section 6 of Executive Order 

12866, Regulatory Planning and Review,
