have prepared an accounting statement

provisions of this final rule. This table

associated due to increased Federal lowincome premium subsidy payments,

which are primarily the result of
allowing a greater number of lowincome beneficiaries to remain in their
current plan, rather than reassigning
them to a lower cost plan. All
expenditures are classified as costs to
the Federal Government.

E. Conclusion
This rule is estimated to result in an
increased Federal cost of $60 million in
CY 2009 and $1.23 billion over the next
10 fiscal years (2009 through 2018). As
explained above, these costs are
primarily due to an increase in lowincome premium subsidy payments.
This rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities, so we are not
preparing an analysis for the RFA. In
addition, the regulation will not have a
significant impact on the operations of
a substantial number of small rural
hospitals, so we are not preparing an
analysis for section 1102(b) of the Act.
The analysis above, together with the
preamble, provides a Regulatory Impact
Analysis as it qualifies as a major rule
under Executive Order 12866. In
accordance with the provisions of
Executive Order 12866, this regulation
was reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget.
III. Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking
We ordinarily publish a notice of
proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register to provide a period for public
comment before the provisions of a rule
take effect in accordance with section
553(b) of the Administrative Procedure
Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). However,
we can waive this notice and comment
procedure if the Secretary finds, for
good cause, that the notice and
comment process is impracticable,
unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest, and incorporates a statement of
the finding and the reasons therefore in
the notice.
This correction notice does not make
any changes to the final rule printed in
the Federal Register on April 3, 2008,
which was the product of a public
notice and comment process. Rather,
this notice corrects an arithmetic error
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:02 Apr 16, 2008
Jkt 214001
that was reflected in the impact analysis
accompanying the final rule. Because
this error does not affect the substance
of the final rule or involve any exercise
of policy discretion, we do not believe
an additional comment period is
necessary.
In addition, because MA
organizations and PDP Sponsors have
already begun the process of preparing
their bids for 2009, and may take the
erroneous impact analysis in the final
rule into account in doing so, it is in the
public interest to publish a corrected
impact statement as soon as possible.

ACTION: Interim rule.
AGENCY:
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
PO 00000
Frm 00029

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:

Management Branch, 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
State and county

44 CFR Part 65
[Docket No. FEMA-B-7772]
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 Branch, 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.
[[Page 20808]]
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 in 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.
