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.

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 either to
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 other
Federal, State, or regional entities. The
BFE changes are in accordance with 44
CFR 65.4.

This interim rule is categorically
excluded from the requirements of 44

elevation determinations are not within
the scope of the Regulatory Flexibility

ACTION: Final rule.
Department of Transportation will
identify and recommend solutions to
impediments to expanded use of marine
highways and lays the groundwork for
coordinating with States, private
transportation providers, and local and
Tribal governments, and conducting
research related to marine highway
development. The program should

air quality, highway safety, and national
security.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY: On October 9, 2008, the
Department of Transportation published
an interim final rule that established
America’s Marine Highway Program,
under which the Secretary will
designate marine highway corridors and
identify and support short sea
transportation projects to expand
domestic water transportation services
as an alternative means of moving
containerized and wheeled freight
cargoes; mitigate the economic,
environmental and energy costs of
landside congestion; integrate the
marine highway into the transportation
planning process; and research
improvements in efficiencies and
environmental sustainability. This
action is required by Public Law 110–
140, the Energy Independence and
Security Act of 2007. The interim final
rule solicited comments, which are
discussed in the ‘‘Section by Section
Review’’ below and incorporated in this
final rule. In addition, the interim final
rule sought recommendations for
designation of Marine Highway
Corridors. This rule adopts the interim
final rule, addresses Marine Highway
Corridors (and continues to solicit
recommendations for Marine Highway
Corridor recommendations), and
establishes eligibility requirements,
criteria and information necessary to
apply for designation as a Marine
Highway Project by the Secretary of
Transportation. Solicitations from
applicants desiring Marine Highway
Project designation will be initiated
through notification in the Federal
Register at a future date. This rule also
sets forth the manner in which the
Background
Following the current economic
slowdown, experts project that cargoes
moving through our ports will return to
pre-recession levels. In fact, freight
tonnage of all types, including exports,
imports, and domestic shipments, is
expected to grow 73 percent by 2035
from 2008 levels [‘‘Freight Facts and
Figures 2009’’, U.S. Department of
Transportation, Federal Highway
Administration, Office of Freight
Management and Operations; Table 2–1;
November 2009]. The development of a
capable, cost-effective, safe and resilient
transportation system is essential to
handling the movement of this cargo in
a manner that is efficient with respect
to cost, energy usage, and
environmental consequences. Since
nearly all international cargos move
along our surface transportation
corridors to access or depart from
seaports, which are major gateways for
commerce, getting such cargoes to and
from the major seaports could involve
more usage of marine corridors to and
from smaller and medium-sized
maritime ports.
The challenges faced by our nation’s
transportation planners and
policymakers involve making better use
of existing infrastructure, addressing the
need for more capacity in our freight
corridors, and reducing the
environmental impacts of
transportation. In recent years, it has
become increasingly evident that the
Nation’s existing road and rail
infrastructure cannot adequately meet
our future transportation needs. Landbased infrastructure expansion

opportunities are limited in many
critical bottleneck areas due to
geography or very high right-of-way
acquisition costs. This is particularly
severe in urban areas where there are
additional concerns about emissions
from transportation sources.
Investments in additional infrastructure,
particularly highways, must consider
the full costs to society of more
greenhouse gas emissions and
pollutants and, potentially, the need to
pay for such emissions in future
transportation fees. Accordingly, new
road and rail investments may not be
feasible, desirable, or cost-beneficial in
many instances.
The cost of expanding our existing
land-based transportation systems,
along with transportation efficiency and
environmental concerns, has caused
many policymakers to re-focus on the
underutilized transportation capacity of
the Nation’s waterways. To help address
these challenges, America’s Marine
Highways can represent a viable
alternative where water transportation is
an option. Expanding the Marine
Highways can be done in a way that
reduces emissions, will require less new
infrastructure than land transportation
alternatives, generates significant fuel
savings, and can increase resiliency in
the surface transportation system. The
Marine Highways, consisting of more
than 25,000 miles of inland,
intracoastal, and coastal waterways,
have considerable room for expansion.
[U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
‘‘Waterborne Commerce of the United
States’’ (2005).] In fact, while the inland
river system, Great Lakes, and coastal
fleets still move a billion metric tons of
cargo each year, less than 4 percent of
the Nation’s domestic freight (by
volume) now moves by water. However,
this is down from 1957 levels, when
over 31 percent moved by water
[‘‘National Transportation Statistics
2009,’’ U.S. Department of
Transportation, Research and Innovative
Technology Administration—Bureau of
Transportation Statistics; Table 1–52:
Freight Activity in the United States:
1993, 1997, 2002, and 2007].
Water transportation can be expanded
quickly and at little incremental cost to
meet freight traffic needs. In addition to
offering abundant and reliable capacity
under normal conditions, waterways
provide critical resiliency to the
transportation system during
emergencies when land-based freight
and passenger delivery systems are
damaged. Especially in urban areas, the
movement of both freight and
passengers by waterway can represent
an excellent opportunity to improve
