ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: 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 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. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comments are requested on the proposed Base (1% annual-chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) and proposed BFE modifications for the communities listed in the table below. The purpose of this proposed rule 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 to 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 July 5, 2011.

Email: generalcounsel@fmc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission proposes to amend part 502 of title 46 of the Code of Federal Regulations to update and improve its Rules of Practice and Procedure, 46 CFR part 502. The rules in 46 CFR 502.1– 502.991 are designed to secure just, speedy, and inexpensive resolution of proceedings before the Commission. On February 24, 2011, certain changes to subparts A, H, I, S, and T of part 502 were published in the Federal Register, 76 FR 10258 (February 24, 2011) and are now in effect. The Commission intends to update and revise the rest of its Rules of Practice and Procedure. By this advance notice, it seeks public comment addressing existing rules that should be updated to reflect current practices and technologies, or could be improved to bring about more efficient and userfriendly procedures. Following receipt and consideration of comments, the Commission intends to issue specific proposed rules in a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and solicit additional public comment on its proposal. A. Modernization and Efficiency Enhancement The Commission proposes to amend and update any rules in part 502 that may be appropriate in order to improve their effectiveness and enhance administrative efficiency, both in use of material and human resources. In line with this goal, the recent revision to subpart A requests all filings to be submitted in electronic PDF format, as well as paper. This first step towards accepting documents in electronic form will give the Commission an opportunity to develop new internal procedures that reduce paper and staff time. The Commission is interested in suggestions and information from the PO 00000 Frm 00069 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 public regarding electronic filing and docket systems they have used and found most efficient and user-friendly. The Commission intends to make the best use of electronic resources currently at its disposal and recognizes the importance of electronic communications. The Commission contemplates editorial revisions to clarify language as well as substantive changes to make the rules more effective and efficient for the industry and the Commission. All procedural rules are being examined for possible revision. At the outset, some of the initial candidates for change are: qualification of non-attorney practitioners, 46 CFR 502.27; content of filed complaints and answers, 46 CFR 502.62–502.64; intervention by the Bureau of Enforcement in complaint proceedings, 46 CFR 502.42; rules governing computation of time, time of filing, and enlargements of time, 46 CFR subpart G; hearing procedures, 46 CFR subpart J; requirements for filing briefs, including the time periods for filing exceptions, page limits, and contents, 46 CFR subpart M; and the functions and authorities of the presiding officer in proceedings. Consideration will also be given to the possible addition of rules for the use of summary judgment in proceedings; voluntary and involuntary dismissal of complaints in line with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP); and the use of cross-claims and thirdparty complaints in Commission proceedings. Additionally, the Commission seeks comment on whether it should amend its rules on filing and service of documents. Several federal agencies now require physical receipt of documents to meet filing and/or service deadlines. Currently the Commission’s rule provides that ‘‘the date of filing shall be either the date on which the pleading, document, or paper is physically delivered to the Commission E:\FR\FM\06APP1.SGM 06APP1

Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on the proposed Base (1% annual-chance)
Flood Elevations (BFEs) and proposed BFE modifications for the
communities listed in the table below. The purpose of this proposed
rule 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 to 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 July 5, 2011.

ADDRESSES: The corresponding preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map
(FIRM) for the proposed BFEs for each community is available for
inspection at the community's map repository. The respective addresses
are listed in the table below.
You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-1179, to

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 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.
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.
