ACTION: Final rule; withdrawal. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) withdraws the final flood elevation determination published in 71 FR 60865, October 17, 2006 for the Lexington/Fayette County, Kentucky and Incorporated Areas, hereafter referred to as ‘‘LFC’’.

Blanton, Jr., Engineering Management Section, Mitigation Division, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646–3151. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 17, 2006, FEMA issued a letter to LFC finalizing the flood elevation determinations. In addition, the July 17, 2006 letter established a January 17, 2007 effective date for the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) and Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for the listed community. The reason for this rescission is to allow FEMA to complete a thorough review and revision of the preliminary maps in light of recent identification of potential errors in the FIRMs. Contradictions have been identified in some areas between the printed maps and the digital data base that supports the maps. There are also questions concerning the locations of stream cross sections on the maps. These discrepancies could lead to incorrect interpretation of the flood risk portrayed in the maps, or even incorrect flood insurance determinations. Due to these issues, it is prudent for FEMA to PO 00000 Frm 00025 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 9675 complete a review and revision of these maps prior to them becoming effective. Until FEMA completes their review and revision of the aforementioned FIRMs, and digital data base, the final flood elevation published in 71 FR 60865, October 17, 2006 for the listed community is hereby withdrawn in accordance with section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104. Until further notice, the release of the FIS and FIRM for the listed communities has been postponed.

VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:27 Mar 02, 2007 Jkt 211001 NMFS manages the groundfish fishery in the GOA exclusive economic zone according to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska (FMP) prepared by the North Pacific Fishery Management Council under authority of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. Regulations governing fishing by U.S. vessels in accordance with the FMP appear at subpart H of 50 CFR part 600 and 50 CFR part 679. NMFS closed the directed fishery for pollock in Statistical Area 630 of the GOA under § 679.20(d)(1)(iii) on January 22, 2007 (72 FR 2793, January 23, 2007). The fishery was subsequently reopened on February 6, 2007 and closed on February 8, 2007 (72 FR 5346, February 6, 2007), reopened on February 12, 2007 and closed on February 14, 2007 (72 FR 7353, February 15, 2007), and reopened on February 20, 2007 and closed on February 22, 2007 (72 FR 8132, February 23, 2007). NMFS has determined that approximately 2,850 mt of pollock remain in the directed fishing allowance in Statistical Area 630 of the GOA. Therefore, in accordance with § 679.25(a)(1)(i), (a)(2)(i)(C) and (a)(2)(iii)(D), and to fully utilize the A season allowance of the 2007 TAC of pollock in Statistical Area 630, NMFS is terminating the previous closure and is reopening directed fishing for pollock in Statistical Area 630 of the GOA. In accordance with § 679.20(d)(1)(iii), the Regional Administrator finds that this directed fishing allowance will be reached after 24 hours. Consequently, NMFS is prohibiting directed fishing for pollock in Statistical Area 630 of the GOA after the 24 hours, effective 1200 hrs, A.l.t., March 2, 2007. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Classification This action responds to the best available information recently obtained from the fishery. The Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, NOAA (AA), finds good cause to waive the requirement to provide prior notice and opportunity for public comment pursuant to the authority set forth at 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) and 679.25(c)(1)(ii) as such requirement is impracticable and contrary to the public interest. This requirement is impracticable and contrary to the public interest as it would prevent NMFS from responding to the most recent fisheries data in a timely fashion and would delay the opening of pollock in Statistical Area 630 of the GOA. NMFS was unable to publish a notice providing time for public comment because the most PO 00000 Frm 00026 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 recent, relevant data only became available as of February 27, 2007. The AA also finds good cause to waive the 30–day delay in the effective date of this action under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3). This finding is based upon the reasons provided above for waiver of prior notice and opportunity for public comment. Without this inseason adjustment, NMFS could not allow the fishery for pollock in Statistical Area 630 of the GOA to be harvested in an expedient manner and in accordance with the regulatory schedule. Under § 679.25(c)(2), interested persons are invited to submit written comments on this action to the above address until March 15, 2007. This action is required by § 679.25 and § 679.20 and is exempt from review under Executive Order 12866. Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq. Dated: February 28, 2007. James P. Burgess, Acting Director, Office of Sustainable Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries Service.
