VerDate Mar<15>2010
The
Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) makes the final determinations
listed below of the modified BFEs for
each community listed. These modified
BFEs have been published in
newspapers of local circulation and
ninety (90) days have elapsed since that
publication. The Deputy Associate
Administrator for Mitigation has
resolved any appeals resulting from this
notification.
The modified BFEs are not listed for
each community in this notice.
However, this final rule includes the
address of the Chief Executive Officer of
the community where the modified BFE
determinations are available for
inspection.
The modified BFEs are made pursuant
to section 206 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
Federal, State, or regional entities.
These modified BFEs are used to meet
the floodplain management
requirements of the NFIP and also are
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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. The changes in BFEs are in
accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
National Environmental Policy Act.
This final 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 final
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.

Final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
This final rule makes nonsubstantive changes throughout Titles
46 and 49 of the Code of Federal
Regulations. The purpose of this rule is
to make conforming amendments and
technical corrections to Coast Guard
shipping and transportation regulations.
This rule will have no substantive effect
on the regulated public. These changes
are provided to coincide with the
annual recodification of Titles 46 and 49
on October 1, 2012.
DATES: This final rule is effective
October 1, 2012.
ADDRESSES: Comments and material
received from the public, as well as
documents mentioned in this preamble

II. Regulatory History
We did not publish a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this
rule. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A) and
(b)(B) the Coast Guard finds this rule is
exempt from notice and comment
rulemaking requirements because these
changes involve rules of agency
organization, procedure, or practice. In
addition, good cause exists for not
publishing an NPRM for all revisions in
the rule because the revisions are all
non-substantive changes. This rule
consists only of corrections and
editorial, organizational, and
conforming amendments. These changes
will have no substantive effect on the
public. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the
Coast Guard finds that, for the same
reasons, good cause exists for making
this rule effective upon publication in
the Federal Register.
III. Basis and Purpose
Each year, the printed editions of
Titles 46 and 49 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) are recodified on
October 1. This rule, which becomes
effective October 1, 2012, makes
technical and editorial corrections
throughout Titles 46 and 49. This rule
PO 00000
Frm 00060
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
does not create any substantive
requirements.
This rule updates internal Coast
Guard office symbols throughout Titles
46 and 49 of the CFR in order to
conform to the office symbols that came
into use with the Deputy Commandant
for Operations 3.0 realignment effective
May 6, 2012. This rule also updates
various addresses for Coast Guard
offices throughout Titles 46 and 49 of
the CFR in order to conform to new
mailing addresses and mailing address
formats that came into use June 15,
2009.
Additional amendments to 46 CFR
and 49 CFR are as follows:
This rule amends 46 CFR 1.01–10 and
1.01–15 to update the title of the
National Maritime Center’s (NMC’s)
satellite offices.
This rule amends 46 CFR 2.10–20 to
add the option of using Pay.gov for
online payment of fees related to vessel
inspections.
This rule amends 46 CFR 10.107 and
10.217 to update the title of the NMC’s
satellite offices.
This rule amends 46 CFR 24.20–1 to
correct the formatting. Currently, the
first paragraph in 24.20–1 is designated
as paragraph (a), which is incorrect
because there is no paragraph (b).
This rule amends 46 CFR 25.01–1 to
add a note stating that additional Coast
Guard regulations applicable to
Uninspected Passenger Vessels can be
found in 33 CFR.
This rule amends 46 CFR 27.102 to
correct a typographical error.
This rule amends 46 CFR 39.20–9 to
correct a CFR reference.
This rule amends 46 CFR 46.10–60 to
reflect the new Customs and Border
Protection title Director, Field
Operations, and to correct a formatting
error: currently, the first paragraph is
designated as paragraph (a), which is
incorrect because there is no paragraph
(b).
This rule amends 46 CFR 61.20–17,
61.20–21, and 61.40–10 to correct
typographical errors.
This rule amends 46 CFR 67.3 to
update the address and the title for the
U.S. Customs office, and to update a
reference to the Secretary of
Transportation; the responsible party is
now the Secretary of Homeland
Security.
This rule amends 46 CFR 76.33–15 to
correct a typographical error.
This rule amends 46 CFR 90.35–5 to
correct a formatting error.
This rule amends 46 CFR 111.105–31
to correct a measurement whose
decimal point is currently misplaced.
This rule amends 46 CFR 117.15 to
remove the obsolete ‘‘grandfather’’ time
