SUMMARY: 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).
The comment period is ninety

newspaper of local circulation in each
community.
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., 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
ADDRESSES:
Flooding source(s)
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

procedure, Flood insurance, Reporting
and recordkeeping requirements.
Accordingly, 44 CFR part 67 is

II. Background and Purpose
Currently, the Federal Acquisition
Regulation (FAR) provides for TwoPhase Design-Build Selection
Procedures. These procedures are used
PO 00000
Frm 00053
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
when the Government determines it is
appropriate to combine design and
construction in a single contract with
one contractor. See 48 CFR 36.3, ‘‘TwoPhase Design-Build Selection
Procedures.’’ Since the FAR does not
allow for consideration of cost or price
related factors until the second phase,
the Two-Phase procedures require
proposal evaluation at two separate
points. See 48 CFR 36.303–2(b)). The
existing two-phase selection procedures,
whether one solicitation for both phases
or two solicitations issued sequentially,
require evaluation of technical approach
and technical qualifications in phase
one and evaluation of technical factors
(such as design concepts or proposed
solutions and price) in phase two. These
procedures result in substantial
completion time for both interested
firms and the Government.
The proposed rule amends the HSAR
to allow for one-step turnkey designbuild contracting for United States Coast
Guard facilities. This one-step designbuild contracting method results in a
single contractor for both design and
construction services. The one-step
turnkey selection procedures for designbuild consist of a single price and
technical evaluation for a single, firm
fixed-price contract with one contractor.
This approach, which works well for
less complex facilities’ construction
projects requiring little design, provides
for shortened procurement and
execution stages when compared to the
existing two-phase selection procedures.
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
The proposed rule adds a new section
and subpart to the HSAR at 48 CFR
3036.104–90. DHS is amending the
HSAR to implement changes resulting
from section 205 of Public Law 109–241
(regarding one-step turnkey selection
procedures for design-build contracts of
the United States Coast Guard) and to
incorporate the delegation of turnkey
design-build authority from the
Secretary of Homeland Security to the
United States Coast Guard.
IV. Regulatory Analyses
A. Executive Order 12866 Assessment
This proposed rule is not a
‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866,
Regulatory Planning and Review, and
does not require an assessment of
potential costs and benefits under
section 6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office
of Management and Budget has not
reviewed it under that Order. The
proposed rule reduces proposal
submittal requirements for Design-Build
contracts through a one-step turnkey

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
Federal Emergency Management Agency
44 CFR Part 67
[Docket No. FEMA-B-7724]
Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations
AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: 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).
DATES: The comment period is ninety (90) days following the second
publication of this proposed rule in a
[[Page 38544]]
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., 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 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:
