new buildings and their contents.
DATES: These modified BFEs are

the table below and revise the Flood
Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) in effect
prior to this determination for the listed
communities.
From the date of the second
publication of these changes in a
newspaper of local circulation, any
person has ninety (90) days in which to
request through the community that the
Mitigation Assistant Administrator of
FEMA reconsider the changes. The

modified BFEs are not listed for each
community in this interim rule.
However, the address of the Chief

where the modified BFE determinations
are available for inspection is provided.
Any request for reconsideration must

and are in accordance with the National

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

On June 7,
2007, FEMA published at 72 FR 31460
a removal of the interim change in flood
elevation determination for the
Unincorporated areas of Frederick
County, Maryland, Case No. 06–03–
B384P, Community Number 240027,
published at 72 FR 271 on January 4,
2007. Inadvertently, the change in flood
elevation for the Unincorporated areas
of Frederick County, Maryland, Case
No. 06–03–B384P, Community Number
240027, was published as a final rule in
72 FR 27746 on May 17, 2007.
As previously stated in 72 FR 31460,
during the 90-day appeal period, FEMA
received an appeal submitted by a
property owner located within the
revised area. After further investigation,
it was found that the aforementioned
flooding sources had been revised for
the countywide map revision for
Frederick County, Maryland, currently
scheduled to go into effect in September
2007. When comparing the Letter of
Map Revision (LOMR) modeling to the
countywide restudy, it was determined
that the modeling for the countrywide
restudy more accurately represented
existing conditions. Therefore, the
LOMR was rescinded to eliminate the
potential of incorrect flood insurance
determinations along the revised
flooding sources.
Accordingly, the final flood elevation
determination inadvertently published
at 72 FR 27746 on May 17, 2007 for the
Unincorporated areas of Frederick
County, Maryland, Case No. 06–03–
B384P, Community No. 240027, is
hereby removed.

Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 553.
FEMA voluntarily publishes flood
elevation determinations for notice and
comment; however, they are governed
by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of
1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and the National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C.
4001 et seq., and do not fall under the
APA. If APA applicability is contested,
however, FEMA asserts, for the reasons
stated above, that it has good cause to
issue this removal immediately, and
without prior notice and opportunity to
comment, because delaying
implementation of this action to await
public notice and comment is
unnecessary, impracticable, and
contrary to the public interest.

This rule is categorically excluded from

44 CFR Part 65
[Docket No. FEMA-B-7719]
Changes in Flood Elevation Determinations
AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: Interim rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This interim rule lists communities where modification of the
Base (1% annual-chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) is appropriate because
of new scientific or technical data. New flood insurance premium rates
will be calculated from the modified BFEs for new buildings and their
contents.
DATES: These modified BFEs are currently in effect on the dates listed
in the table below and revise the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) in
effect prior to this determination for the listed communities.
From the date of the second publication of these changes in a
newspaper of local circulation, any person has ninety (90) days in
which to request through the community that the Mitigation Assistant
Administrator of FEMA reconsider the changes. The modified BFEs may be
changed during the 90-day period.
ADDRESSES: 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: 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 modified BFEs are not listed for each
community in this interim rule. However, the address of the Chief
Executive Officer of the community where the modified BFE
determinations are available for inspection is provided.
Any request for reconsideration must be based on knowledge of
changed conditions or new scientific or technical data.
The modifications are made pursuant to section 201 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 the
other Federal, State, or regional entities. The changes BFEs are in
accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
National Environmental Policy Act. This interim 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 interim 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 interim rule involves no
policies that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism.
Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This interim rule
meets the applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.
