buildings built after these elevations are
made final, and for the contents in these
buildings.
SUMMARY: Technical information or
comments are requested on the
proposed Base (1% annual-chance)
Flood Elevations (BFEs) and proposed
BFE modifications for the communities
listed below. The BFEs and modified
BFEs are the basis for the floodplain
management measures that the
community is required either to adopt
or to show evidence of being already in
effect in order to qualify or remain
qualified for participation in the
National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP).
DATES: The comment period is ninety
(90) days following the second
publication of this proposed rule in a
newspaper of local circulation in each
community.
ADDRESSES: The proposed 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.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Identification Section, Emergency
Preparedness and Response Directorate,
Federal Emergency Management
Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington,
DC 20472, (202) 646–2903.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Federal Emergency Management Agency
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 Mitigation Division
Director of the Emergency Preparedness
and Response Directorate has resolved
any appeals resulting from this
notification.
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

excluded from the requirements of 44
CFR Part 10, Environmental
Consideration. No environmental
impact assessment has been prepared.

rule is exempt from the requirements of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act because
modified base flood elevations are
required by the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105,
and are required to maintain community
eligibility in the NFIP. No regulatory
flexibility analysis has been prepared.
Regulatory Classification
This proposed 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.
