(90) days following the second
publication of this proposed rule in a
newspaper of local circulation in each
community.
DATES:
SUMMARY: Technical information or
comments are requested on the
VerDate Aug<31>2005
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).

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.

William R. Blanton, Jr., Engineering
Management Section, Mitigation
Directorate, Federal Emergency
Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW.,
Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646–3151.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Federal Emergency Management Agency
(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
ADDRESSES:
Executive Order 13132, Federalism.
This proposed rule involves no policies
that have federalism implications under
Executive Order 13132.
Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice
Reform. This proposed rule meets the
applicable standards of Executive Order
12988.
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
Consideration. An environmental
impact assessment has not been
prepared.
Regulatory Flexibility Act. As flood
elevation determinations are not within
the scope of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, a regulatory
flexibility analysis is not required.
Regulatory Classification. This
proposed 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.
List of Subjects in 44 CFR Part 67

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
Section 842(a) of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007
(Pub. L. 109–364) establishes a new
specialty metals domestic source
restriction, which is codified at 10
U.S.C. 2533b. A proposed rule is being
developed to comprehensively
implement 10 U.S.C. 2533b in the
DFARS. However, this proposed rule is
being published separately in order to
expedite the exercise of a statutory
exception to the requirements of 10
U.S.C. 2533b for COTS items.
As defined in subsection (c) of 41
U.S.C. 431 (Section 35 of the Office of
Federal Procurement Policy Act),
‘‘COTS item’’—
(i) Means any item of supply that is—
(A) A commercial item;
(B) Sold in substantial quantities in
the commercial marketplace; and
(C) Offered to the Government,
without modification, in the same form
in which it is sold in the commercial
marketplace; and
(ii) Does not include bulk cargo, as
defined in section 3 of the Shipping Act
of 1984 (46 U.S.C. App. 1702), such as
agricultural products and petroleum
products.
41 U.S.C. 431(a) requires that the
acquisition regulations list the
provisions of law that are inapplicable
to contracts and subcontracts for COTS
items. Covered provisions of law must
be included on that list unless the
Administrator of the Office of Federal
Procurement Policy (OFPP) makes a
written determination that it would not
be in the best interest of the United
States to exempt such contracts from the
applicability of that provision of law.
Covered provisions of law are those
that, as determined by OFPP, impose on
contractors Government-unique
policies, procedures, requirements, or
restrictions, except for—
Æ A provision of law that provides for
criminal or civil penalties; or
Æ A provision of law that specifically
refers to 41 U.S.C. 431, and states that
the law is nevertheless applicable to
COTS items.
10 U.S.C. 2533b does not provide for
criminal or civil penalties; nor does it
refer to 41 U.S.C. 431 and state that the
law is nevertheless applicable to COTS
items. Accordingly, this proposed rule—
Æ Creates a new DFARS section
212.570 to list 10 U.S.C. 2533b as
PO 00000
Frm 00014
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
inapplicable to contracts and
subcontracts for the acquisition of COTS
items; and
Æ Includes acquisitions of COTS
items containing specialty metals as an
exception at DFARS 225.7002–2.
Exercise of this statutory COTS
waiver is critical to DoD’s access to the
commercial marketplace. Manufacturers
make component purchasing decisions
based on factors such as cost, quality,
availability, and maintaining the state of
the art—not the country in which
specialty metals in the components
were melted. In addition, many
commercial items commonly acquired
in large quantities by DoD, such as
computers, commercial-off-the shelf
engines, and semi-conductors, may
contain a small percentage of
components made of specialty metals,
subjecting the manufacturers to costly
and burdensome, if not impossible,
tracking requirements. Many
manufacturers of COTS items are
unwilling to change their existing
processes, inventory systems, or
facilities and incur the significant
expense associated with tracking the
sourcing of specialty metals in the
components of a COTS item in order to
generate sales to DoD, which typically
represent a very small percentage of
overall revenue for COTS items.
Section 2533b permits DoD to process
a domestic non-availability
determination, but such process poses
difficulties for DoD in meeting missionsensitive requirements in a timely
manner. In order for DoD to be able to
support a determination, a contractor
must—
(1) Work with its suppliers at every
tier to identify non-compliant parts from
among potentially hundreds of
thousands of parts;
(2) Determine that it cannot find a
compliant source, either because lead
times are longer than the contract
permits, or because sufficient quantity is
not available; and
(3) Research whether and by when it
can become compliant.
Once the information on
noncompliant parts and their
nonavailability is provided to DoD, the
Department must conduct a validation
review and develop a report to
document the determination. All of
these efforts taken together may entail
thousands of hours of work, at
considerable cost to the taxpayer, and a
significant addition in lead time to the
acquisition cycle.
For all of these reasons, an exemption
from 10 U.S.C. 2533b for COTS items is
in the best interest of the Government.

Management and Budget review under

Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-
3151.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(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 Consideration. An environmental impact assessment has not
been prepared.
Regulatory Flexibility Act. As flood elevation determinations are
not within the scope of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601-
612, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required.
Regulatory Classification. This proposed 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.
Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This proposed rule involves no
policies that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132.
Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This proposed rule
meets the applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.
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:
