consumers, and does not have
significant adverse effects on
competition, employment, investment,
productivity, innovation, or the ability
of U.S.-based enterprises to compete
with foreign-based enterprises.
Title VIII of ANILCA requires the
Secretaries to administer a subsistence
preference on public lands. The scope of
this program is limited by definition to
certain public lands. Likewise, the
adjustments have no potential takings of
private property implications as defined
by Executive Order 12630.
The Service has determined and
certifies pursuant to the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act, 2 U.S.C. 1502 et
seq., that the adjustments will not
impose a cost of $100 million or more
in any given year on local or State
governments or private entities. The
implementation is by Federal agencies,
and no cost is involved to any State or
local entities or Tribal governments.
The Service has determined that the
adjustments meet the applicable
standards provided in Sections 3(a) and
3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988,
regarding civil justice reform.
In accordance with Executive Order
13132, the adjustments do not have
sufficient federalism implications to
warrant the preparation of a Federalism
Assessment. Title VIII of ANILCA
precludes the State from exercising
subsistence management authority over
fish and wildlife resources on Federal
lands. Cooperative salmon run
assessment efforts with ADF&G will
continue.
In accordance with the President’s
memorandum of April 29, 1994,
‘‘Government-to-Government Relations
with Native American Tribal
Governments’’ (59 FR 22951), Executive
Order 13175, and 512 DM 2, we have
evaluated possible effects on Federally
recognized Indian tribes and have
determined that there are no effects. The
Bureau of Indian Affairs is a
participating agency in this rulemaking.
On May 18, 2001, the President issued
Executive Order 13211 on regulations
that significantly affect energy supply,
distribution, or use. This Executive
Order requires agencies to prepare
Statements of Energy Effects when
undertaking certain actions. As these
actions are not expected to significantly
affect energy supply, distribution, or
use, they are not significant energy
actions and no Statement of Energy
Effects is required.

Directorate, Department of Homeland
Security.
ACTION: Interim rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This interim rule lists
communities where modification of the
Base (1% annual chance) Flood
Elevations (BFEs) is appropriate because
of new scientific or technical data. New
flood insurance premium rates will be
calculated from the modified BFEs for
new buildings and their contents.
DATES: These modified BFEs are
currently in effect on the dates listed in
the table and revise the Flood Insurance
Rate Map(s) (FIRMs) in effect prior to
this determination for each listed
community.
From the date of the second
publication of these changes in a
newspaper of local circulation, any
person has ninety (90) days in which to
request through the community that the
Director reconsider the changes. The
modified elevations may be changed
during the 90-day period.
ADDRESSES: The modified BFEs for each
community are available for inspection

Identification Section, Emergency
Preparedness and Response Directorate,
FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
modified BFEs are not listed for each
community in this interim rule.
However, the address of the Chief
Executive Officer of the community
where the modified BFE determinations
are available for inspection is provided.
Any request for reconsideration must
be based upon knowledge of changed
conditions, or upon new scientific or
technical data.
The modifications are made pursuant
to Section 201 of the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105,
and are in accordance with the National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C.
4001 et seq., and with 44 CFR part 65.
For rating purposes, the currently
effective community number is shown
and must be used for all new policies
and renewals.
The modified BFEs are the basis for
the floodplain management measures
that the community is required to either
adopt or to show evidence of being
already in effect in order to qualify or
to remain qualified for participation in
the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP).
These modified elevations, 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.
The changes in BFEs are in
accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
National Environmental Policy Act.
This rule is categorically excluded from
the requirements of 44 CFR Part 10,
Environmental Consideration. No
environmental impact assessment has
been prepared.
Regulatory Flexibility Act. The
Mitigation Division Director of the
Emergency Preparedness and Response
Directorate certifies that this rule is
exempt from the requirements of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act because
