Federal Emergency
Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
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
(90) days following the second
publication of this proposed rule in a
DATES:
Flooding source(s)
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.

Denial of petition for
rulemaking.
ACTION:
Based on the agency’s
evaluation, the NHTSA denies a petition
for rulemaking from Ricon Corporation
(Ricon) to amend S6.1/S7.4 (threshold
warning signal requirement and related
test procedure), S6.10.2.3 (anti-stow
interlock requirement) and S6.10.2.7/
S7.6 (occupied inner roll stop interlock
requirement and related test procedure)
of FMVSS No. 403. The NHTSA
believes that the rulemaking is
unnecessary because granting the
proposed amendments would not result
in a substantial increase in the
effectiveness and safety benefit of the
requirements and related test
procedures. The NHTSA also believes
that the current requirements and test
procedures are appropriate and
objective ways of ensuring compliance.

Register a final rule, Federal Motor

purpose of FMVSS No. 403 is to prevent
injuries and fatalities to passengers and
bystanders during the operation of
platform lifts installed in motor
vehicles. The standard is written to
protect standing passengers who may be
aided by canes and walkers, as well as
persons seated in wheelchairs, scooters
and other mobility aids. FMVSS No. 403
became effective on April 1, 2005.
