SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
proposal addresses the correction of a
final rule EPA promulgated on March 9,
2005 (at 70 FR 11553) approving two
submittals of revisions to the Arizona
state implementation plan,
redesignating the metropolitan Phoenix
carbon monoxide area to attainment,
and redesignating the boundary of the
metropolitan Phoenix carbon monoxide
area to exclude the Gila River Indian
Reservation. In the Rules section of this
Federal Register, we are taking direct
final action to correct the State of
Arizona’s adoption and submittal date
for one of the plan revisions that we
approved in our March 9, 2005 final
rule, to correct a transcription error in
the description of the boundary of the
metropolitan Phoenix carbon monoxide
area, and to correct the description of
the boundary of the metropolitan
Phoenix carbon monoxide area
promulgated in our March 9, 2005 final
rule without prior proposal because we
believe this correction action is not
controversial. If we receive adverse
comments, however, we will publish a
timely withdrawal of the direct final
rule and address the comments in
subsequent action based on this
proposed rule. We do not plan to open
a second comment period, so anyone
interested in commenting should do so
at this time. If we do not receive
comments, no further activity is
planned. For further information, please
see the direct final action.
Dated: July 15, 2005.

Deputy Regional Administrator, Region IX.

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.

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
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.

This proposed rule is categorically
excluded from the requirements of 44

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.

proposed rule is not a significant
regulatory action under the criteria of
