ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
In the Federal Register issue
of March 16, 2012, EPA published a
direct final rule revoking certain testing
requirements promulgated under the
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)
for 10 chemical substances, including
benzenesulfonic acid, [[4-[[4(phenylamino)phenyl][4-(phenylimino)2,5-cyclohexadien-1ylidene]methyl]phenyl]amino]- (CAS
No. 1324–76–1), also known as C.I.
Pigment Blue 61. EPA received an
adverse comment regarding C.I. Pigment
Blue 61. This document withdraws the
revocation of testing requirements for
C.I. Pigment Blue 61 as described in the
March 16, 2012 direct final rule. In
withdrawing the revocation, this
document also restores the original
testing requirements as currently shown
in the Code of Federal Regulations

(CFR). Elsewhere in today’s Federal
Register, EPA is publishing a proposed
rule revoking the same testing

2012 direct final rule.
This final rule is effective May
15, 2012.

In the March 16, 2012 Federal
Register, EPA issued a revocation of
some or all of the TSCA section 4 testing
requirements for 10 chemical substances
by direct final rule. In accordance with
the procedures described in the March
16, 2012 Federal Register document,
EPA is withdrawing the revocation of
certain testing requirements for C.I.
Pigment Blue 61 and also restoring the
original testing requirements found in
the CFR, because the Agency received
an adverse comment concerning this
chemical substance. The final rule
revoking testing requirements for the
other 9 chemical substances described
in the March 16, 2012 Federal Register
document is otherwise unaffected by the
withdrawal of the revocation for C.I.
Pigment Blue 61. Elsewhere in today’s
Federal Register, EPA is proposing a
rule to revoke certain test rule
requirements for C.I. Pigment Blue 61.
The docket identification (ID) number
for the test rule concerning this
chemical substance was established at
EPA–HQ–OPPT–2005–0033. That
docket includes information considered
by the Agency in developing those rules
and the adverse comment.

Suspension of Community Eligibility
Federal Emergency
Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This rule identifies
communities where the sale of flood
insurance has been authorized under
the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP) that are scheduled for
suspension on the effective dates listed
within this rule because of
noncompliance with the floodplain
management requirements of the
program. If the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) receives
documentation that the community has
adopted the required floodplain
management measures prior to the
effective suspension date given in this
rule, the suspension will not occur and
a notice of this will be provided by
publication in the Federal Register on a
subsequent date.
DATES: Effective Dates: The effective
date of each community’s scheduled
suspension is the third date (‘‘Susp.’’)

If
you want to determine whether a
particular community was suspended
on the suspension date or for further
information, contact David Stearrett,
Federal Insurance and Mitigation
Administration, Federal Emergency
Management Agency, 500 C Street SW.,
Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646–2953.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP
enables property owners to purchase
Federal flood insurance that is not
otherwise generally available from
private insurers. In return, communities
agree to adopt and administer local
floodplain management measures aimed
at protecting lives and new construction
from future flooding. Section 1315 of
the National Flood Insurance Act of
1968, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4022,
prohibits the sale of NFIP flood
insurance unless an appropriate public
body adopts adequate floodplain
management measures with effective
enforcement measures. The
communities listed in this document no
longer meet that statutory requirement
for compliance with program
regulations, 44 CFR part 59.
Accordingly, the communities will be
suspended on the effective date in the
third column. As of that date, flood
insurance will no longer be available in
the community. We recognize that some
of these communities may adopt and
submit the required documentation of
legally enforceable floodplain
management measures after this rule is
published but prior to the actual
suspension date. These communities

will not be suspended and will continue
to be eligible for the sale of NFIP flood
insurance. A notice withdrawing the
suspension of such communities will be
published in the Federal Register.
In addition, FEMA publishes a Flood
Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) that
identifies the Special Flood Hazard
Areas (SFHAs) in these communities.
The date of the FIRM, if one has been
published, is indicated in the fourth
column of the table. No direct Federal
financial assistance (except assistance
pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act not in connection with a
flood) may be provided for construction
or acquisition of buildings in identified
SFHAs for communities not
participating in the NFIP and identified
for more than a year on FEMA’s initial
FIRM for the community as having
flood-prone areas (section 202(a) of the
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973,
42 U.S.C. 4106(a), as amended). This
prohibition against certain types of
Federal assistance becomes effective for
the communities listed on the date
shown in the last column. The
Administrator finds that notice and
public comment procedures under 5
U.S.C. 553(b), are impracticable and
unnecessary because communities listed
in this final rule have been adequately
notified.
Each community receives 6-month,
90-day, and 30-day notification letters
addressed to the Chief Executive Officer
stating that the community will be
