II. Background
Amaris Johnson, Field and External
Affairs Division, Office of Pesticide
Programs, Environmental Protection
Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW.,
Washington, DC 20460–0001; telephone
number: (703) 305–9542; fax number:
(703) 305–5884; e-mail
address:johnson.amaris@epa.gov.
EPA is convening a public workshop
to explain the proposed revisions to the
data requirements for the registration of
antimicrobial pesticides. Under the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
(FFDCA), anyone seeking to register a
pesticide product is required to provide
information to EPA to demonstrate that
their products can be used without
posing ‘‘unreasonable adverse effects on
the environment’’ as defined by FIFRA
section 2(bb).
The public workshop will include
presentations by staff from the
Antimicrobial, and the Field and
External Affairs Divisions of the Office
of Pesticide Programs. The proposed
revisions are directed at antimicrobial
pesticides, not conventional pesticides,
biochemical and microbial pesticides or
product performance data requirements.
Nonetheless, all interested parties are
welcome and may benefit from the
discussions since two areas not
addressed in the conventional pesticide
(72 FR 60934, October 26, 2007) (FRL–
8106–5), or biochemical and microbial
pesticide (72 FR 60988, October 26,
2007) (FRL–8109–8) data requirements
final rules are addressed in the
antimicrobial data requirements
proposed rule. These two areas are:
Down-the-drain data requirements and
the Program’s use of structure-activityrelationship (SAR).
During the workshop, persons in
attendance will be able to ask questions
regarding the proposed rule and/or
material being presented and seek any
clarification they believe may assist
them in submitting comments to the
docket for the proposed rule. Any
person wishing to comment on the
proposed rule must submit any
comments to the docket within the
timeframe set forth in the Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking.
The proposed revisions were issued
in the Federal Register of October 8,
2008 (73 FR 59382) (FRL–8358–2). A
90–day comment period will end on
January 6, 2008. The notice of the
workshop was published on October 10,
2008 (73 FR 60211) (FRL–8383–6). A
limited number of copies of the
proposed rule will be available at the
workshop. Attendees are encouraged to
access the electronic version of the
proposed rule from the regulations.gov
website under Docket ID number EPA–
HQ–OPP–2008–0110.
The Agency has arranged for a web
conference to serve as an alternate
means of participating in the workshop.

ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Comments are requested on
the proposed Base (1 percent annualchance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) and
proposed BFE modifications for the
communities listed in the table below.
The purpose of this notice is to seek
general information and comment
regarding the proposed regulatory flood
elevations for the reach described by the
downstream and upstream locations in
the table below. The BFEs and modified
BFEs are a part of the floodplain
management measures that the
community is required either to adopt
or show evidence of having in effect in
order to qualify or remain qualified for
participation in the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition,
these elevations, once finalized, will be
used by insurance agents, and others to
calculate appropriate flood insurance
premium rates for new buildings and
the contents in those buildings.

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
DATES:
Flooding source(s)
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.
Comments on any aspect of the Flood
Insurance Study and FIRM, other than
the proposed BFEs, will be considered.
A letter acknowledging receipt of any
comments will not be sent.
Administrative Procedure Act
Statement. This matter is not a
rulemaking governed by the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5
U.S.C. 553. FEMA 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.
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.
Executive Order 12866, Regulatory
Planning and Review. This proposed
rule is not a significant regulatory action
under the criteria of section 3(f) of
Executive Order 12866, as amended.
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.
