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

The Report and Order denied East
Kentucky’s rulemaking petition because
it proposed an effective radiated power
(‘‘ERP’’) below the minimum required
PO 00000
Frm 00035
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 9990
44279
for Class C3 FM stations under § 73.211
of the Commission’s rules. See 72 FR
16315 (April 4, 2007). The staff reversed
the Report and Order, explaining that a
station may have a height above average
terrain (‘‘HAAT’’) greater than the class
reference provided that it reduces its
ERP such that the distance to its 60 dBu
contour exceeds the reference distance
for the next lower class and does not
exceed the reference distance for its
class. Because East Kentucky’s proposal
met these requirements, the staff
reinstated and granted the rulemaking
petition. The document also rejected an
argument that the proposal was not
technically feasible due to a terrain
obstruction.
To accommodate East Kentucky’s
upgrade, the staff involuntarily
modified the license of Station WDIC–
FM, Clinchco, Virginia, from Channel
221A to Channel 276A. The reference
coordinates for Channel 221C3 at Coal
Run, Kentucky, are 37–23–57 NL and
82–23–42 WL, and for Channel 276A at
Clinchco, Virginia, are 37–08–42 NL
and 82–23–22 WL.
East Kentucky’s proposal was
formerly a rule change to § 73.202(b),
the FM Table of Allotments. See 69 FR
51414 (August 19, 2004). As a result of
changes to the Commission’s processing
rules, modifications of FM channels for
existing stations are no longer listed in
§ 73.202(b) and are instead reflected in
the Media Bureau’s Consolidated Data
Base System. See Revision of Procedures
Governing Amendments to FM Table of
Allotments and Changes of Community
of License in the Radio Broadcast
Services, Report and Order, 71 FR 76208
(December 20, 2006).
This document is not subject to the
Congressional Review Act. (The
Commission is, therefore, not required
to submit a copy of this Report and
Order to GAO, pursuant to the
Congressional Review Act, see 5 U.S.C.
801(a)(1)(A) because no changes are
being made to 47 CFR 73.202(b)).

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
Federal Emergency Management Agency
44 CFR Part 65
[Docket ID FEMA-2011-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1201]
Changes in Flood Elevation Determinations
AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: Interim rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This interim rule lists communities where modification of the
Base (1% annual-chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) is appropriate because
of new scientific or technical data. New flood insurance premium rates
will be calculated from the modified BFEs for new buildings and their
contents.
DATES: These modified BFEs are currently in effect on the dates listed
in the table below and revise the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) in
effect prior to this determination for the listed communities.
From the date of the second publication of these changes in a
newspaper of local circulation, any person has ninety (90) days in
which to request through the community that the Deputy Federal
Insurance and Mitigation Administrator reconsider the changes. The
modified BFEs may be changed during the 90-day period.
ADDRESSES: 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.
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 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
[[Page 44277]]
Federal, State, or regional entities. The changes in BFEs are in
accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
National Environmental Policy Act. This interim 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.
Regulatory Classification. This interim rule is not a significant
regulatory action under the criteria of section 3(f) of Executive Order
12866 of September 30, 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, 58 FR
51735.
Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This interim rule involves no
policies that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism.
Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This interim rule
meets the applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.
