[Docket ID FEMA–2008–0020; Internal
Agency Docket No. FEMA–B–1043]
Proposed Flood Elevation
Determinations
AGENCY: Federal Emergency
Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
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
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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.
DATES: Comments are to be submitted
on or before June 23, 2009.
Flooding source(s)
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.
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.
