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

The proposed BFEs for each
community are available for inspection
at the office of the Chief Executive

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In order to preserve the remedial
impact of civil penalties and to foster
compliance with the law, the Federal
Civil Monetary Penalty Inflation
Adjustment Act of 1990 (28 U.S.C. 2461,
Notes, Pub. L. 101–410), as amended by
the Debt Collection Improvement Act of
1996 (Pub. L. 104–134) (referred to
collectively as the ‘‘Adjustment Act’’ or,
in context, the ‘‘Act’’), requires us and
other Federal agencies to adjust civil
penalties for inflation. Under the
Adjustment Act, following an initial
adjustment that was capped by the Act,
these agencies must make further
adjustments, as warranted, to the
amounts of penalties in statutes they
administer at least once every four
years.
NHTSA’s initial adjustment of civil
penalties under the Adjustment Act was
published on February 4, 1997. 62 FR
5167. At that time, we codified the
penalties under statutes administered by
NHTSA, as adjusted, in 49 CFR Part
578, Civil Penalties. On July 14, 1999,
we further adjusted certain penalties. 64
FR 37876. In 2000, the Transportation
Recall Enhancement, Accountability,
and Documentation (‘‘TREAD’’) Act
increased the maximum penalties under
the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle
Safety Act as amended (sometimes
referred to as the ‘‘Motor Vehicle Safety
Act’’). We codified those amendments
in Part 578 on November 14, 2000. 65
FR 68108. On August 7, 2001, we also
adjusted certain penalty amounts
pertaining to odometer tampering and
disclosure requirements and vehicle
theft prevention. 66 FR 41149. On
September 28, 2004, we adjusted the
maximum penalty amounts for a related
series of violations involving the
agency’s provisions governing vehicle
safety, bumper standards, and consumer
information. 69 FR 57864. On
September 8, 2005, the agency adjusted
its penalty amounts for violations of its

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 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
[[Page 54632]]
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:
