Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 120 / Wednesday, June 22, 2011 / Proposed Rules
Administration’s (SBA) regulations at 13
CFR 121.201; (2) a small governmental
jurisdiction that is a government of a
city, county, town, school district or
special district with a population of less
than 50,000; and (3) a small
organization that is any not-for-profit
enterprise which is independently
owned and operated and is not
dominant in its field.
After considering the economic
impacts of today’s Direct Final rule on
small entities, I certify that this
proposed rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. This action
proposes only a minor change to the
manifest printing specifications, and the
effect of this proposed change would
make it easier for printers to comply
with the manifest printing specification
by providing additional options.
Therefore, this proposed rule would not
impose any new burden or costs on
printers or users of the manifest,
including printers and users who are
small entities as defined by the RFA.
Since the rule would not have any
significant adverse economic impact on
small entities, the RFA does not require
EPA to perform a regulatory flexibility
analysis.

comments on this NPRM on or before
June 27, 2011.
Various organizations submitted
requests to extend the comment period
by an additional sixty (60) days or more.
We considered these requests and
determined that it is appropriate to
provide an additional 14-day period for
comment on the proposed regulation.
We are, therefore, extending the
comment period until Monday, July 11,
2011.

Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
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 September 20, 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.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NHTSA
administers a program for reducing
motor vehicle theft. The central feature
of this program is the Federal Motor
Vehicle Theft Prevention Standard, 49
CFR part 541. The standard specifies
performance requirements for inscribing
or affixing vehicle identification
numbers (VINs) onto certain major
original equipment and replacement
parts of high-theft lines of passenger
motor vehicles.
The agency is required by 49 U.S.C.
33104(b)(4) to periodically obtain, from
the most reliable source, accurate and
timely theft data, and publish the data
for review and comment. To fulfill the
§ 33104(b)(4) mandate, this document
reports the preliminary theft data for CY
2009 the most recent calendar year for
which data are available.
In calculating the 2009 theft rates,
NHTSA followed the same procedures it
has used since publication of the 1983/
1984 theft rate data (50 FR 46669,
November 12, 1985). The 2009 theft rate
for each vehicle line was calculated by
dividing the number of reported thefts
of MY 2009 vehicles of that line stolen
during calendar year 2009 by the total
number of vehicles in that line
manufactured for MY 2009, as reported
to the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA). As in all previous reports,
NHTSA’s data were based on

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
Federal Emergency Management Agency
44 CFR Part 67
[Docket ID FEMA-2011-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1198]
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 September 20, 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-1198, to
Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering Management Branch, Federal Insurance
and Mitigation Administration, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500
C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472,
[[Page 36483]]
(202) 646-4064, or (e-mail) luis.rodriguez1@dhs.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 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) luis.rodriguez1@dhs.gov.
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.
List of Subjects in 44 CFR Part 67

and recordkeeping requirements.
