extending 1000 yards from Sail Rock 

(37°29′34′′ N, 122°30′02′′ W) excluding 

the waters within Pillar Point Harbor. 

All coordinates are North American 

Datum 1983. Within the Regulated Area, 

at least two zones will be established 

and marked by buoys on the day of the 

competition. Due to the dynamic and 

changing nature of the surf, the exact 

size and location of the zones will not 

be made public until the competition 

day. The zones will be prominently 

marked by at least 8 buoys, placed by 

the event sponsor in a pattern approved 

by PATCOM. In addition, the USCG will 

notify the public of the zone locations 

via broadcast notice to mariners on the 

day of the event. 

(3) Zone 1. As used in this section, 

‘‘Zone 1’’ means the competition area 

within the Regulated Area. Zone 1 will 

generally be located to the northwest of 

a line drawn between Sail Rock 

(37°29′34′′ N, 122°30′02′′ W) and Pillar 

Point Entrance Lighted Gong Buoy 1 

(37°29′10.410′′ N, 122°30′21.904′′ W). 

(4) Zone 2. As used in this section, 

‘‘Zone 2’’ means the area within the 

Regulated Area where the Coast Guard 

may direct the movement of all vessels, 

including restricting vessels from this 

area. Due to weather and sea conditions, 

the Captain of the Port may deny access 

to Zone 2 and the remainder of the 

regulated area to all vessels other than 

competitors and support vessels on the 

day of the event. Zone 2 will generally 

be located to the southeast of a line 

drawn between Sail Rock (37°29′34′′ N, 

122°30′02′′ W) and Pillar Point Entrance 

Lighted Gong Buoy 1 (37°29′10.410′′ N, 

122°30′21.904′′ W). 

(5) Competitor. As used in this section 

‘‘competitor’’ means a surfer, enrolled in 

the Maverick’s Invitational Surf 

Competition. 

(6) Support Vessel. As used in this 

section ‘‘support vessel’’ means a vessel 

which is designated and conspicuously 

marked by the sponsor to provide direct 

support to the competitors. 

(7) Spectator Vessel. As used in this 

section ‘‘spectator vessel’’ means any 

vessel or person which is not designated 

by the sponsor as a support vessel. 

(d) Special Local Regulations. The 

following regulations apply between the 

hours of 6am and 6pm on the 

competition day. 

(1) Regulated Area Restrictions: 

(i) Only support vessels may be 

authorized by the Patrol Commander 

(PATCOM) to enter Zone 1 during the 

competition. 

(ii) Entering the water in Zone 1 by 

any person other than the competitors is 

prohibited. Competitors shall enter the 

water in Zone 1 from authorized 

support vessels only. 

(iii) Vessels within Zone 2 shall 

maneuver as directed by PATCOM. 

Given the changing nature of the surf in 

the vicinity of the competition, 

PATCOM may close Zone 2 to all 

vessels due to hazardous conditions. 

(iv) Entering the water in Zone 2 by 

any person is prohibited. 

(v) Rafting and anchoring of vessels 

are prohibited within the Regulated 

Area. 

(vi) Only vessels authorized by 

PATCOM shall be permitted to tow 

other watercraft within the regulated 

area. 

(vii) Spectator and support vessels in 

Zones 1 and 2 shall operate at speeds 

which will create minimum wake, in 

general, seven (7) miles per hour or less. 

(viii) When hailed or signaled by 

PATCOM by a succession of sharp, 

short signals by whistle or horn, the 

hailed vessel must come to an 

immediate stop and comply with the 

lawful directions issued. Failure to 

comply with a lawful direction may 

result in additional operating 

restrictions, citation for failure to 

comply, or both. 

(ix) During the events, vessel 

operators may contact the PATCOM on 

VHF–FM channel 16.

44 CFR Part 64 

[Docket ID FEMA–2014–0002; Internal 

Agency Docket No. FEMA–8355] 

Suspension of Community Eligibility 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, DHS. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule identifies 

communities where the sale of flood 

insurance has been authorized under 

the National Flood Insurance Program 

(NFIP) that are scheduled for 

suspension on the effective dates listed 

within this rule because of 

noncompliance with the floodplain 

management requirements of the 

program. If the Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA) receives 

documentation that the community has 

adopted the required floodplain 

management measures prior to the 

effective suspension date given in this 

rule, the suspension will not occur and 

a notice of this will be provided by 

publication in the Federal Register on a 

subsequent date. Also, information 

identifying the current participation 

status of a community can be obtained 

from FEMA’s Community Status Book 

(CSB). The CSB is available at http://

www.fema.gov/fema/csb.shtm. 

DATES: Effective Dates: The effective 

date of each community’s scheduled 

suspension is the third date (‘‘Susp.’’) 

listed in the third column of the 

following tables. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If 

you want to determine whether a 

particular community was suspended 

on the suspension date or for further 

information, contact David Stearrett, 

Federal Insurance and Mitigation 

Administration, Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, 500 C Street SW., 

Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646–2953. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP 

enables property owners to purchase 

Federal flood insurance that is not 

otherwise generally available from 

private insurers. In return, communities 

agree to adopt and administer local 

floodplain management measures aimed 

at protecting lives and new construction 

from future flooding. Section 1315 of 

the National Flood Insurance Act of 

1968, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4022, 

prohibits the sale of NFIP flood 

insurance unless an appropriate public 

body adopts adequate floodplain 

management measures with effective 

enforcement measures. The 

communities listed in this document no 

longer meet that statutory requirement 

for compliance with program 

regulations, 44 CFR Part 59. 

Accordingly, the communities will be 

suspended on the effective date in the 

third column. As of that date, flood 

insurance will no longer be available in 

the community. We recognize that some 

of these communities may adopt and 

submit the required documentation of 

legally enforceable floodplain 

management measures after this rule is 

published but prior to the actual 

suspension date. These communities 

will not be suspended and will continue 

to be eligible for the sale of NFIP flood 

insurance. A notice withdrawing the 

suspension of such communities will be 

published in the Federal Register. 

In addition, FEMA publishes a Flood 

Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) that 

identifies the Special Flood Hazard 

Areas (SFHAs) in these communities. 

The date of the FIRM, if one has been 

published, is indicated in the fourth 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 199 / Wednesday, October 15, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 61767 

column of the table. No direct Federal 

financial assistance (except assistance 

pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford 

Disaster Relief and Emergency 

Assistance Act not in connection with a 

flood) may be provided for construction 

or acquisition of buildings in identified 

SFHAs for communities not 

participating in the NFIP and identified 

for more than a year on FEMA’s initial 

FIRM for the community as having 

flood-prone areas (section 202(a) of the 

Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 

42 U.S.C. 4106(a), as amended). This 

prohibition against certain types of 

Federal assistance becomes effective for 

the communities listed on the date 

shown in the last column. The 

Administrator finds that notice and 

public comment procedures under 5 

U.S.C. 553(b), are impracticable and 

unnecessary because communities listed 

in this final rule have been adequately 

notified. 

Each community receives 6-month, 

90-day, and 30-day notification letters 

addressed to the Chief Executive Officer 

stating that the community will be 

suspended unless the required 

floodplain management measures are 

met prior to the effective suspension 

date. Since these notifications were 

made, this final rule may take effect 

within less than 30 days. 

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 

Administrator has determined that this 

rule is exempt from the requirements of 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act because 

the National Flood Insurance Act of 

1968, as amended, Section 1315, 42 

U.S.C. 4022, prohibits flood insurance 

coverage unless an appropriate public 

body adopts adequate floodplain 

management measures with effective 

enforcement measures. The 

communities listed no longer comply 

with the statutory requirements, and 

after the effective date, flood insurance 

will no longer be available in the 

communities unless remedial action 

takes place. 

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 13132, Federalism. 

This rule involves no policies that have 

federalism implications under Executive 

Order 13132. 

Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice 

Reform. This rule meets the applicable 

standards of Executive Order 12988. 

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.

Counsel, Legal Services Corporation,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Private Attorney Involvement 

In 1981, LSC issued the first 

instruction (‘‘Instruction’’) 

implementing the Corporation’s policy 

that LSC funding recipients dedicate a 

percentage of their basic field grants to 

involving private attorneys in the 

delivery of legal services to eligible 

clients. 46 FR 61017, 61018, Dec. 14, 

1981. The goal of the policy was to 

ensure that recipients would provide 

private attorneys with opportunities to 

give legal assistance to eligible clients 

‘‘in the most effective and economical 

manner and consistent with the 

purposes and requirements of the Legal 

Services Corporation Act.’’ Id. at 61017. 

The Instruction gave recipients 

guidance on the types of opportunities 

that they could consider, such as 

engaging private attorneys in the direct 

representation of eligible clients or in 

providing community legal education. 

Id. at 61018. Recipients were directed to 

consider a number of factors in deciding 

which activities to pursue, including the 

legal needs of eligible clients, the 

recipient’s priorities, the most effective 

and economical means of providing 

legal assistance, linguistic and cultural 

barriers to effective advocacy, conflicts 

of interest between private attorneys 

and eligible clients, and the substantive 

expertise of the private attorneys 

participating in the recipients’ projects. 

Id. 

LSC published the first PAI rule in 

1984. 49 FR 21328, May 21, 1984. The 

new regulation adopted the policy and 

procedures established by the 

Instruction in large part. The rule 

adopted an amount equivalent to 12.5% 

of a recipient’s basic field grant as the 

amount recipients were to spend on PAI 

activities. Id. The rule also adopted the 

factors that recipients were to consider 

in determining which activities to 

pursue and the procedures by which 

recipients were to establish their PAI 

plans. Id. at 21328–29. Finally, the rule 

incorporated the Instruction’s 

prohibition on using revolving litigation 

funds as a method of engaging private 

attorneys. Id. at 21329. 

Over the course of the next two years, 

LSC amended the PAI rule in several 

material respects. In recognition of 

LSC’s belief that ‘‘the essence of PAI is 

the direct delivery of legal services to 

the poor by private attorneys,’’ LSC 

introduced a provision requiring 

recipients to meet at least part of their 

PAI requirement by engaging private 

attorneys to provide legal assistance 

directly to eligible clients. 50 FR 48586, 

48588, Nov. 26, 1985. At the same time, 

LSC introduced rules governing joint 

ventures, waivers, and sanctions for 

failure to comply with the PAI 

requirement, in addition to establishing 

simplified audit rules. Id. at 48587–89. 

The following year, LSC made two 

substantive changes to the rule. First, 

LSC included a definition for the term 

private attorney, which the Corporation 

defined as ‘‘an attorney who is not a 

staff attorney as defined in § 1600.1 of 

these regulations.’’ 51 FR 21558, June 

13, 1986. Second, LSC promulgated the 

‘‘blackout provision,’’ which prohibited 

recipients from counting toward their 

PAI requirement payments made to 

individuals who had been staff 

attorneys within the preceding two 

years. Id. at 21558–59. 

LSC last amended part 1614 in 2013 

as part of the final rule revising LSC’s 

enforcement procedures. 79 FR 10085, 

Feb. 13, 2013. The only effect of the 

2013 amendments was to harmonize 

part 1614 with the enforcement rules by 

eliminating references to obsolete rules 

and replacing them with references to 

the new rules. Id. at 10092. 

II. The Pro Bono Task Force 

On March 31, 2011, the LSC Board of 

Directors (Board) approved a resolution 

establishing the Pro Bono Task Force. 

Resolution 2011–009, ‘‘Establishing a 

Pro Bono Task Force and Conferring 

Upon the Chairman of the Board 

Authority to Appoint Its Members,’’ 

Mar. 31, 2011, http://www.lsc.gov/

board-directors/resolutions/resolutions2011. The purpose of the Task Force 

was to ‘‘identify and recommend to the 

Board new and innovative ways in 

which to promote and enhance pro bono 

initiatives throughout the country[.]’’ Id. 

The Chairman of the Board appointed to 

the Task Force individuals representing 

legal services providers, organized pro 

bono programs, the judiciary, law firms, 

government attorneys, law schools, bar 

leadership, corporate general counsels, 

and technology providers. 

The Task Force focused its efforts on 

identifying ways to increase the supply 

of lawyers available to provide pro bono 

legal services while also engaging 

attorneys to reduce the demand for legal 

services. Legal Services Corporation, 

Report of the Pro Bono Task Force at 2, 

October 2012, available at http://

lri.lsc.gov/legal-representation/privateattorney-involvement/resources. 

Members considered strategies for 

expanding outreach to private attorneys 

and opportunities for private attorneys 

to represent individual clients in areas 

of interest to the attorneys. In addition, 

the Task Force explored strategies, such 

as appellate advocacy projects or 

collaborations with special interest 

groups, to help private attorneys address 

systemic problems as a way to decrease 

the need for legal services on a larger
