The EPA has also developed a Web 

site for the proposed rule. A copy of the 

notice of proposed rulemaking (which is 

essentially the same as the proposal that 

will be published) was posted on the 

EPA Web site prior to publication in the 

Federal Register. The EPA Web site for 

the rulemaking, which includes 

information about the public hearings,

[Docket ID FEMA–2008–0020; 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 following 

communities: the City of St. Louis, St. 

Charles and St. Louis counties in 

Missouri; and Madison, Monroe, and St. 

Clair counties in Illinois. The 

communities addressed by this rule 

were the subject of an act of Congress 

which required the Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA) to delay 

the statutory appeals process required 

under Section 1363 of the National 

Flood Insurance Act of 1968, until 

certain publication requirements were 

met for each of these communities. 

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 October 6, 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–1062, to 

William R. Blanton, Jr., Chief, 

Engineering Management Branch, 

Mitigation Directorate, Federal 

Emergency Management Agency, 500 C

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Emergency Management Agency 

(FEMA) proposes and seeks comment 

on the Base (1% annual-chance) Flood 

Elevations (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). 

Those communities affected by this 

proposed rule are the City of St. Louis, 

St. Charles and St. Louis counties in 

Missouri; and Madison, Monroe, and St. 

Clair counties in Illinois. The 

communities addressed by this rule 

were the subject of an act of Congress 

which required the Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA) to delay 

the statutory appeals process required 

under 1363 of the National Flood 

Insurance Act of 1968, until certain 

publication requirements were met for 

each of the included communities. 

Specifically, the legislation stated, 

‘‘Until such time as preliminary flood 

insurance rate maps initiated prior to 

October 1, 2008 are completed and 

released for public review, preliminary 

base flood elevations are published in 

the Federal Register, and the second 

required local newspaper publication of 

such base flood elevations is made for 

the City of St. Louis, St. Charles and St. 

Louis counties in Missouri, and 

Madison, Monroe, and St. Clair counties 

in Illinois, the Administration shall not 

begin the statutory appeals process in 

such areas required under 1383 of the 

National Flood Insurance Act of 1968.’’ 

(Consolidated Security, Disaster 

Assistance, and Continuing 

Appropriations Act 2009, Pub. L. 110– 

329, Div. B, Sec. 10503, 122. Stat. 3574, 

3593 (2008)). In accordance with the 

intent of the legislation, FEMA intends 

to initiate concurrent appeal periods for 

these Missouri and Illinois 

communities. 

FEMA originally published BFEs for 

the affected Illinois communities in 

proposed rules in 2008. The proposed 

BFEs for Monroe and Madison counties 

published August 18, 2008, at 73 FR 

48170. The proposed BFEs for St. Clair 

County published September 3, 2008, at 

73 FR 51400. The proposed BFEs for 

Monroe, Madison, and St. Clair counties 

which published at 73 FR 48170 and 73 

FR 51400 are withdrawn and replaced 

by the proposed BFEs set forth below in 

this rule. FEMA received no comments 

on the proposed rules published at 73 

FR 48170 and 73 FR 51400. Only one 

minor change has been made in the 

proposed BFEs for these Illinois 

counties since the 2008 publications. In 

proposed rule 73 FR 48170 for Madison 

County, the existing BFE for the 

Mississippi River was listed as 403 feet 

using the North American Vertical 

Datum (NAVD). This was a 

typographical error and has been 

modified to reflect the correct existing 

BFE of 430 feet NAVD. This rule is the 

first publication of proposed BFEs for 

the affected Missouri counties. 

These proposed BFEs and modified 

BFEs, together with the floodplain 

management criteria required by 44 CFR 

60.3, are minimum requirements. 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.
