44 CFR Part 67

[Docket ID FEMA-2008-0020; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1062]

 
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 
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-3151, or (e-mail) 
bill.blanton@dhs.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William R. Blanton, Jr., Chief, 
Engineering Management Branch, Mitigation Directorate, Federal 
Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472, 
(202) 646-3151, or (e-mail) bill.blanton@dhs.gov.

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.
    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.
