rmajette on PROD1PC67 with RULES
7688
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 30 / Tuesday, February 14, 2006 / Rules and Regulations
Clean Air Act. This rule also is not
subject to Executive Order 13045
‘‘Protection of Children from
Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks’’ (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997),
because it is not economically
significant.
In reviewing SIP submissions, EPA’s
role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of
the Clean Air Act. In this context, in the
absence of a prior existing requirement
for the State to use voluntary consensus
standards (VCS), EPA has no authority
to disapprove a SIP submission for
failure to use VCS. It would thus be
inconsistent with applicable law for
EPA, when it reviews a SIP submission,
to use VCS in place of a SIP submission
that otherwise satisfies the provisions of
the Clean Air Act. Thus, the
requirements of section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C.
272 note) do not apply. This rule does
not impose an information collection
burden under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
The Congressional Review Act, 5
U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides
that before a rule may take effect, the
agency promulgating the rule must
submit a rule report, which includes a
copy of the rule, to each House of the
Congress and to the Comptroller General
of the United States. EPA will submit a
report containing this rule and other
required information to the U.S. Senate,
the U.S. House of Representatives, and
the Comptroller General of the United
States prior to publication of the rule in
the Federal Register. A major rule
cannot take effect until 60 days after it
is published in the Federal Register.
This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as
defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA,
petitions for judicial review of this
action must be filed in the United States
Court of Appeals for the appropriate
circuit by April 17, 2006. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the
Administrator of this final rule does not
affect the finality of this rule for the
purposes of judicial review nor does it
extend the time within which a petition
for judicial review may be filed, and
shall not postpone the effectiveness of
such rule or action. This action may not
be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements (see section
307(b)(2)).

44 CFR Part 65
Changes in Flood Elevation
Determinations
Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA),
Department of Homeland Security.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Modified Base (1% annualchance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) are
finalized for the communities listed
below. These modified elevations will
be used to calculate flood insurance
premium rates for new buildings and
their contents.
DATES: The effective dates for these
modified BFEs are indicated on the
table below and revise the Flood
Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) in effect
for the listed communities prior to this
date.

The modified 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, 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 has resolved any appeals
resulting from this notification.
The modified BFEs are not listed for
each community in this notice.
However, this rule includes the address
of the Chief Executive Officer of the
community where the modified BFE
determinations are available for
inspection.
The modifications are made pursuant
to Section 206 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 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 modified BFEs 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.
