Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 99 / Tuesday, May 26, 2009 / Proposed Rules 24729 

for the negotiated rulemaking sessions. 

The public hearings will be held on: 

• June 15–16, 2009 at the Community 

College of Denver. 

• June 18–19, 2009 at the University 

of Arkansas at Little Rock. 

• June 22–23, 2009 at the Community 

College of Philadelphia. 

The public hearings will be held from 

9 a.m.–4 p.m., local time. Further 

information on the public hearing sites, 

including addresses and directions, is 

available at http://www.ed.gov/policy/ 

highered/reg/hearulemaking/2009/ 

negreg-summerfall.html. 

On the day following each public 

hearing, the Department will also be 

conducting two forums at the same 

location as the public hearing, from 9 

a.m.–1 p.m., local time. These forums 

will be conducted concurrently. One 

forum will focus on approaches to the 

Department’s financial aid 

communications and processes 

(including the FAFSA) that could 

improve college planning, preparation 

and access. The other forum will focus 

on ways that Federal postsecondary 

programs could play a stronger role in 

fostering student educational 

persistence and degree attainment. 

While the Department will be inviting 

representatives of students, families, 

college access professionals, and college 

success practitioners to participate in 

these forums, the forums will be open 

to the public with opportunities for 

public comment provided. 

Individuals desiring to present 

comments at the public hearings are 

encouraged to do so. It is likely that 

each participant choosing to make a 

statement will be limited to five 

minutes. Individuals interested in 

making oral statements will be able to 

register to make a statement beginning 

at 8:30 a.m. on the day of the public 

hearing at the Department’s on-site 

registration table on a first-come, firstserved basis. If additional time slots 

remain, individuals may be given 

additional time to speak. If no time slots 

remain, the Department has reserved 

one additional hour at the end of the 

day for individuals who were not able 

to register to speak. The amount of time 

available will depend upon the number 

of individuals who register to speak. 

Speakers may also submit written 

comments. In addition, for anyone 

unable to attend a public hearing, the 

Department will accept written 

comments through June 23, 2009. (See 

the ADDRESSES section of this notice for 

submission information.) 

The public hearing sites are accessible 

to individuals with disabilities. 

Individuals needing an auxiliary aid or 

service to participate in the hearing or 

a forum (e.g., interpreting service, 

assistive listening device, or materials in 

alternative format) should notify the 

contact person for information about 

hearings listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT in this notice in 

advance of the scheduled hearing date. 

Although we will attempt to meet any 

request we receive, we may not be able 

to make available the requested 

auxiliary aid or service because of 

insufficient time to arrange it. 

Schedule for Negotiations 

We anticipate that these committees 

will begin negotiations in September 

2009, with each committee meeting for 

three sessions of approximately three 

days at roughly monthly intervals. The 

committees will meet in the 

Washington, DC area. The dates and 

locations of these meetings will be 

published in a subsequent notice in the 

Federal Register, and will be posted on 

the Department’s Web site at: http:// 

www.ed.gov/policy/highered/reg/ 

hearulemaking/2009/negregsummerfall.html.

44 CFR Part 67 

[Docket ID FEMA–2008–0020; Internal 

Agency Docket No. FEMA–B–1053] 

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 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 August 24, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: The corresponding 

preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map 

(FIRM) for the proposed BFEs for each 

community are 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–1053, to 

William R. Blanton, Jr., Chief, 

Engineering Management Branch, 

Mitigation Directorate, Federal 

Emergency Management Agency, 500 C

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Emergency Management Agency 

24730 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 99 / Tuesday, May 26, 2009 / Proposed Rules 

(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 

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 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. 

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. 

Administrative Procedure Act 

Statement. This matter is not a 

rulemaking governed by the 

Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 

U.S.C. 553. FEMA publishes flood 

elevation determinations for notice and 

comment; however, they are governed 

by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 

1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and the National 

Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 

4001 et seq., and do not fall under the 

APA. 

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. 

List of Subjects in 44 CFR Part 67 

Administrative practice and 

procedure, Flood insurance, Reporting 

and recordkeeping requirements. 

Accordingly, 44 CFR part 67 is 

proposed to be amended as follows:

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 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 August 24, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: The corresponding 

preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map 

(FIRM) for the proposed BFEs for each 

community are 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–1051, to
