b. What information exists that
describes the relationship between the
quantity and quality of wetlands and
Bay Delta Estuary water quality and fish
populations?
c. In light of projected impacts of
climate change (including sea level rise
and its effects on levee stability), what
specific activities can EPA undertake to
improve long-term protection of existing
and future wetlands, especially those
resources on subsided islands?
III. Executive Order 12866, Regulatory
Planning and Review
Under Executive Order 12866,
entitled Regulatory Planning and
Review (58 FR 51,735, October 4, 1993),
this is a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’.
Accordingly, EPA submitted this action
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review under Executive
Order 12866 and any changes made in
response to OMB recommendations
have been documented in the docket for
this action.
Because this action does not propose
or impose any requirements and instead
seeks comments and suggestions for the
Agency to consider in possibly
developing a subsequent proposed rule,
the various statutes and Executive
Orders that normally apply to
rulemaking do not apply in this case.
Should EPA subsequently determine to
pursue a rulemaking, EPA will address
the statutes and Executive Orders as
applicable to that rulemaking.
Dated: February 10, 2011.

Regional Administrator, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, Region 9.

ACTION: Proposed rule; correction.
AGENCY:
On January 7, 2011, FEMA
published in the Federal Register a
proposed rule that included an
erroneous Base Flood Elevation (BFE)
for the Skykomish River in Snohomish
SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:42 Feb 18, 2011
Jkt 223001
County, Washington. The BFE currently
in effect for the location approximately
216 feet downstream of Burlington
Northern Santa Fe Railway should have
been listed as 355 feet, referenced to the
North American Vertical Datum of 1988.
DATES: Comments pertaining to the
Skykomish River BFE for the location
approximately 216 feet downstream of
Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway
are to be submitted on or before May 23,
2011.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by Docket No. FEMA–B–
1170, to Luis Rodriguez, Chief,
Engineering Management Branch,
Federal Insurance and Mitigation
Administration, Federal Emergency
Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) publishes proposed
determinations of Base (1% annualchance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) and
modified BFEs for communities
participating in the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP), 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 minimum requirements. 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 also are
used to calculate the appropriate flood
insurance premium rates for new
buildings built after these elevations are
made final, and for the contents in those
buildings.
Correction
In the proposed rule published at 76
FR 1121, in the January 7, 2011, issue
of the Federal Register, FEMA
published a table under the authority of
44 CFR 67.4. The table, entitled
PO 00000
Frm 00021
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
‘‘Snohomish County, Washington, and
Incorporated Areas’’ addressed several
flooding sources, including the
Skykomish River. The proposed rule
incorrectly listed the effective BFE for
the Skykomish River, for the location
approximately 216 feet downstream of
Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway.
The effective BFE for that location was
listed as 359 feet, referenced to the
North American Vertical Datum of 1988.
The correct effective BFE is 355 feet,
referenced to the North American
Vertical Datum of 1988. The proposed
modified BFE was correctly listed as
351 feet, referenced to the North
American Vertical Datum of 1988. This
proposed rule correction is reopening
the comment period for the Skykomish
River, for the location approximately
216 feet downstream of Burlington
Northern Santa Fe Railway, due to the
error in listing the effective BFE in the
previously published proposed rule at
76 FR 1121.
