Final Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency; DHS.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On October 26, 2015, FEMA published in the Federal Register a 
final rule that contained an erroneous table. This rule provides 
corrections to that table, to be used in lieu of the information 
published. The table provided here represents the final Base (1% 
annual-chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) and modified BFEs and 
communities affected for St. Charles County, Missouri and Incorporated 
Areas.

DATES: Effective March 17, 2017. The date of issuance of the Flood 
Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) showing BFEs and modified BFEs for each 
community may be obtained by contacting the office where the maps are 
available for inspection as indicated in the table below.

ADDRESSES: The final BFEs 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 table below.

eXchange (FMIX) online at www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 26, 2015, FEMA published in the 
Federal Register a final rule that contained an erroneous table. This 
rule provides corrections to that table, to be used in lieu of the 
information published at 80 FR 65162-65164.
    The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) makes the final 
determinations listed below for the modified BFEs 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 Deputy Associate Administrator for Insurance and 
Mitigation has resolved any appeals resulting from this notification.

    This final rule is issued in accordance with section 110 of the 
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR part 
67. FEMA has developed criteria for floodplain management in flood 
prone areas in accordance with 44 CFR part 60.
    Interested lessees and owners of real property are encouraged to 
review the proof Flood Insurance Study and FIRM available at the 
address cited below for each community. The BFEs and modified BFEs are 
made final in the communities listed below. Elevations at selected 
locations in each community are shown.
    National Environmental Policy Act. FEMA has reviewed this final 
rule for purposes of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and has determined that this action will not have 
a significant effect on the human environment. This action is covered 
by categorical exclusions A4 and A 7 in Department of Homeland Security 
(DHS) Instruction 023-01-001-01, Appendix A.
    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.
    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 final rule involves no 
policies that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132.
    Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This final rule meets 
the applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.

Correction

    In the final rule published at 80 FR 65162-65164 in the October 26, 
2015 issue of the Federal Register, FEMA published a table titled ``St. 
Charles County, Missouri, and Incorporated Areas''. This table 
contained inaccurate information as to the community name for the City 
of Dardenne Prairie featured in the table. In this document, FEMA is 
publishing a table containing the accurate information. The information 
provided below should be used in lieu of that previously published.
