BILLING CODE 7515–01–P (a) Records that were properly declassified in accordance with E.O. 12958 as amended (or predecessor orders) and that have been released may be temporarily closed and considered for reclassification at the request of an agency. Final action must be taken under the personal authority of the agency head or deputy agency head, who determines in writing within 20 workdays that the reclassification of the information is necessary in the interest of the national security. In addition, the information must be reasonably recoverable. (b) Records that were not properly declassified in accordance with Executive Order 12958 as amended (or predecessor orders) remain classified. Upon notification, NARA will take administrative action to restore markings and controls, as appropriate. In the event that records have been released, they may be temporarily closed and their classification reviewed at the request of an agency. The agency must notify NARA of the results of the review within 30 days. (c) Agencies must submit all requests in writing. If the urgency of the request precludes a written request, an authorized agency official may make a preliminary request by telephone and follow up with a written request within 5 working days. Requests concerning Executive Branch records must be addressed to the Assistant Archivist for Records Services—Washington, DC, National Archives and Records Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD 20740–6001.

(d) Any such written request must include all of the following: (1) A description of the records or donated materials involved, identified with sufficient specificity to enable NARA to locate it with a reasonable amount of effort; (2) An explanation as to why the records should be closed and reviewed; (3) A statement as to the authority for any classification or reclassification, to include a reference to the specific category in section 1.4 or 3.3(b) of E.O. 12958, as appropriate; and An agency or an entity within the Executive Office of the President that solely advises and assists the President, may ask NARA to temporarily close, review, and possibly reclassify or restore the classification of White House originated information that has been declassified and previously released. The agency or other entity must follow the same procedures as a request for reclassification of Executive branch originated information in 36 CFR 1260.70. Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Room 500, Washington, DC 20408. VerDate jul<14>2003 12:47 Aug 11, 2005 Jkt 205001 § 1260.74 What if NARA does not concur with a request to reclassify or restore the classification of information that has been previously released? (a) If NARA is concerned that relevant procedures and policies under E.O. 12958, as amended, or its Implementing Directives are not being properly implemented, the Archivist will promptly report such situations to the Director of ISOO. (b) If, in the opinion of the Archivist, an agency’s determination with respect to the classification status of records that have been previously released is improper, the Archivist, as an authorized holder, may challenge the classification status of the pertinent records in accordance with section 1.8 of E.O. 12958, as amended. (c) NARA will direct any such challenge in writing to the agency with classification authority and jurisdiction over the information. (d) If no response is provided by the agency within 120 days, NARA may forward the challenge directly to the Interagency Security Classification Appeals Panel (ISCAP). NARA must forward the challenge within 60 days of the agency’s failure to provide a response within 120 days. (e) If an agency appellate authority fails to provide NARA with a response to an appeal within 90 days of its receipt, NARA may forward the appeal directly to the Interagency Security Classification Appeals Panel (ISCAP). NARA must forward the challenge within 60 days of the agency’s failure to provide a response to an appeal within 90 days. (f) All records subject to classification challenges will remain classified pending final resolution of the challenge and, if necessary, any such appeals.

Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Emergency 
Preparedness and Response Directorate, Department of Homeland Security.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

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 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: Doug Bellomo, P.E., Hazard 
Identification Section, Emergency Preparedness and Response 
Directorate, FEMA, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-
2903.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA proposes to make determinations of 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).
    These proposed base flood elevations and modified BFEs, together 
with the floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are 
the minimum that

[[Page 47167]]

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 buildings built after these elevations are made final, 
and for the contents in these buildings.
    National Environmental Policy Act. This proposed 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 
proposed rule is exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act because proposed or modified BFEs are required by the 
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and are required 
to establish and maintain community eligibility in the NFIP. As a 
result, a regulatory flexibility analysis has not 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.
    Executive Order 12612, Federalism. This proposed rule involves no 
policies that have federalism implications under Executive Order 12612, 
Federalism, dated October 26, 1987.
    Executive Order 12778, Civil Justice Reform. This proposed rule 
meets the applicable standards of section 2(b)(2) of Executive Order 
12778.
