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

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.

Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Proposed rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: 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 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., Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-4064 or (e-
mail) rodriguez1@dhs.gov">luis.rodriguez1@dhs.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency 
(FEMA) publishes proposed determinations of Base (1% annual-chance) 
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 ``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.
