Owned Vehicle Mileage
Reimbursement
Office of Governmentwide
Policy, GSA.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This final rule amends the
mileage reimbursement rate for use of a
privately owned vehicle (POV) on
official travel to reflect recent gas price
increases. The governing regulation is
revised to increase the cost of operating
a privately owned automobile from 40.5
to 48.5 cents per mile.
EFFECTIVE DATE: Applicability Date: This
final rule is effective from September 1
to December 31, 2005, and applies to
travel performed during that time
period.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The
Regulatory Secretariat, Room 4035, GSA
Building, Washington DC 20405, (202)

status or publication schedules. For
clarification of content, contact Peggy
DeProspero, Office of Governmentwide

Amendment 2005–04; FTR case 2005–
307.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 5707(b), the
Administrator of General Services has
the responsibility to establish the
privately owned vehicle (POV) mileage
reimbursement rates. In recognition of
recent gasoline price increases, the
Administrator of General Services has
determined the per-mile operating costs
of a POV to be 48.5 cents for
automobiles. As provided in 5 U.S.C.
5704(a)(1), the automobile
reimbursement rate cannot exceed the
single standard mileage rate established
by the Internal Revenue Services (IRS).
The IRS announced on September 9,
2005, a new single standard mileage rate
for automobiles of 48.5 cents effective
from September 1 to December 31, 2005.
B. Regulatory Flexibility Act
This final rule is not required to be
published in the Federal Register for
notice and comment; therefore, the
Regulatory Flexibility Act does not
apply.

C. Executive Order 12866
GSA has determined that this final
rule is not a significant regulatory action
for the purposes of Executive Order
12866 of September 30, 1993.
D. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act does
not apply because this final rule does
not impose recordkeeping or
information collection requirements, or
the collection of information from
offerors, contractors, or members of the
public which require the approval of the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) under 44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.
E. Small Business Regulatory
Enforcement Fairness Act
This final rule is also exempt from
congressional review prescribed under 5
U.S.C. 801 since it relates solely to
agency management and personnel.

Final rule.
SUMMARY: This rule identifies
communities, where the sale of flood
insurance has been authorized under
the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP), that are scheduled for
suspension on the effective dates listed
within this rule because of
noncompliance with the floodplain
management requirements of the
program. If the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) receives
documentation that the community has
adopted the required floodplain
management measures prior to the
effective suspension date given in this
rule, the suspension will not occur and
a notice of this will be provided by
publication in the Federal Register on a
subsequent date.
EFFECTIVE DATES: The effective date of
each community’s scheduled
suspension is the third date (‘‘Susp.’’)
listed in the third column of the
following tables.
ADDRESSES: If you wish to determine
whether a particular community was
suspended on the suspension date,
contact the appropriate FEMA Regional
Office or the NFIP servicing contractor.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Michael M. Grimm, Mitigation Division,
500 C Street, SW., Room 412,
Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646–2878.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP
enables property owners to purchase
flood insurance which is generally not
otherwise available. In return,
communities agree to adopt and
administer local floodplain management
aimed at protecting lives and new
construction from future flooding.
Section 1315 of the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, 42
U.S.C. 4022, prohibits flood insurance
coverage as authorized under the
National Flood Insurance Program, 42
U.S.C. 4001 et seq.; unless an
appropriate public body adopts
adequate floodplain management
measures with effective enforcement
measures. The communities listed in
this document no longer meet that
statutory requirement for compliance
with program regulations, 44 CFR part
59 et seq. Accordingly, the communities
will be suspended on the effective date
in the third column. As of that date,
flood insurance will no longer be
available in the community. However,
some of these communities may adopt
and submit the required documentation
of legally enforceable floodplain
management measures after this rule is
published but prior to the actual
suspension date. These communities
will not be suspended and will continue

their eligibility for the sale of insurance.
A notice withdrawing the suspension of
the communities will be published in
the Federal Register.
In addition, the Federal Emergency
Management Agency has identified the
special flood hazard areas in these
communities by publishing a Flood
Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). The date of
the FIRM if one has been published, is
indicated in the fourth column of the
table. No direct Federal financial
assistance (except assistance pursuant to
the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief
and Emergency Assistance Act not in
connection with a flood) may legally be
provided for construction or acquisition
of buildings in the identified special
flood hazard area of communities not
participating in the NFIP and identified
for more than a year, on the Federal
Emergency Management Agency’s
initial flood insurance map of the
community as having flood-prone areas
(section 202(a) of the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4106(a), as amended). This prohibition
against certain types of Federal
assistance becomes effective for the
communities listed on the date shown
in the last column. The Administrator
finds that notice and public comment
under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable
and unnecessary because communities
listed in this final rule have been
adequately notified.
Each community receives a 6-month,
90-day, and 30-day notification letter
addressed to the Chief Executive Officer
that the community will be suspended
unless the required floodplain
management measures are met prior to
the effective suspension date. Since
these notifications have been made, this
final rule may take effect within less
than 30 days.
National Environmental Policy Act
This rule is categorically excluded
from the requirements of 44 CFR part
10, Environmental Considerations. No
environmental impact assessment has
been prepared.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Administrator has determined
that this rule is exempt from the
requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act because the National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as
amended, 42 U.S.C. 4022, prohibits
flood insurance coverage unless an
appropriate public body adopts
adequate floodplain management
measures with effective enforcement
measures. The communities listed no
longer comply with the statutory
requirements, and after the effective
date, flood insurance will no longer be

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
Federal Emergency Management Agency
44 CFR Part 64
[Docket No. FEMA-7893]
Suspension of Community Eligibility
AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, Emergency Preparedness and
Response Directorate, Department of Homeland Security.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This rule identifies communities, where the sale of flood
insurance has been authorized under the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP), that are scheduled for suspension on the effective
dates listed within this rule because of noncompliance with the
floodplain management requirements of the program. If the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) receives documentation that the
community has adopted the required floodplain management measures prior
to the effective suspension date given in this rule, the suspension
will not occur and a notice of this will be provided by publication in
the Federal Register on a subsequent date.
EFFECTIVE DATES: The effective date of each community's scheduled
suspension is the third date (``Susp.'') listed in the third column of
the following tables.
ADDRESSES: If you wish to determine whether a particular community was
suspended on the suspension date, contact the appropriate FEMA Regional
Office or the NFIP servicing contractor.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael M. Grimm, Mitigation Division,
500 C Street, SW., Room 412, Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-2878.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP enables property owners to purchase
flood insurance which is generally not otherwise available. In return,
communities agree to adopt and administer local floodplain management
aimed at protecting lives and new construction from future flooding.
Section 1315 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended,
42 U.S.C. 4022, prohibits flood insurance coverage as authorized under
the National Flood Insurance Program, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.; unless an
appropriate public body adopts adequate floodplain management measures
with effective enforcement measures. The communities listed in this
document no longer meet that statutory requirement for compliance with
program regulations, 44 CFR part 59 et seq. Accordingly, the
communities will be suspended on the effective date in the third
column. As of that date, flood insurance will no longer be available in
the community. However, some of these communities may adopt and submit
the required documentation of legally enforceable floodplain management
measures after this rule is published but prior to the actual
suspension date. These communities will not be suspended and will
continue
[[Page 54482]]
their eligibility for the sale of insurance. A notice withdrawing the
suspension of the communities will be published in the Federal
Register.
In addition, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has identified
the special flood hazard areas in these communities by publishing a
Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). The date of the FIRM if one has been
published, is indicated in the fourth column of the table. No direct
Federal financial assistance (except assistance pursuant to the Robert
T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act not in
connection with a flood) may legally be provided for construction or
acquisition of buildings in the identified special flood hazard area of
communities not participating in the NFIP and identified for more than
a year, on the Federal Emergency Management Agency's initial flood
insurance map of the community as having flood-prone areas (section
202(a) of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4106(a),
as amended). This prohibition against certain types of Federal
assistance becomes effective for the communities listed on the date
shown in the last column. The Administrator finds that notice and
public comment under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and unnecessary
because communities listed in this final rule have been adequately
notified.
Each community receives a 6-month, 90-day, and 30-day notification
letter addressed to the Chief Executive Officer that the community will
be suspended unless the required floodplain management measures are met
prior to the effective suspension date. Since these notifications have
been made, this final rule may take effect within less than 30 days.
National Environmental Policy Act
This rule is categorically excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR
part 10, Environmental Considerations. No environmental impact
assessment has been prepared.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Administrator has determined that this rule is exempt from the
requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act because the National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4022, prohibits
flood insurance coverage unless an appropriate public body adopts
adequate floodplain management measures with effective enforcement
measures. The communities listed no longer comply with the statutory
requirements, and after the effective date, flood insurance will no
longer be available in the communities unless they take remedial
action.
Regulatory Classification
This final 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.
