Proposed Flood Elevation
Determinations
Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA),
Department of Homeland Security,
Mitigation Division.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
Technical information or
comments are requested on the
proposed Base (1% annual chance)
Flood Elevations (BFEs) and proposed
BFEs 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).
SUMMARY:
The comment period is ninety
(90) days following the second
publication of this proposed rule in a
DATES:
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:
William R. Blanton, Jr., CFM, Acting
Section Chief, Engineering Management
Section, Mitigation Division, 500 C
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472,
(202) 646–3151.
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
BFEs 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.
National Environmental Policy Act.
This proposed rule is categorically
excluded from the requirements of 44
CFR part 10, Environmental
List of Subjects in 44 CFR Part 67
Administrative practice and
procedure, Flood insurance, Reporting
and recordkeeping requirements.
Accordingly, 44 CFR part 67 is
proposed to be amended as follows:

proposed rule is not a significant
regulatory action under the criteria of
Section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866 of
