The community listed in this notice currently has floodplain management regulations that are scheduled to lapse October 31, 2012. If the regulations lapse as scheduled, the community will no longer meet the NFIP requirements set forth at 44 CFR Part 59 et seq. Under 44 CFR 59.24(d), a community will be suspended from the NFIP for repealing its floodplain management regulations, allowing its regulations to lapse or amending its regulations so that they no longer meet the minimum requirements. Accordingly, FEMA is suspending the City of Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania (‘‘the City’’) on the effective date in the fourth column of the table. As of that date, the purchase of new flood insurance policies or the renewal of existing flood insurance policies under the NFIP will no longer be available.

The prohibition against certain types of Federal disaster assistance also becomes effective for the City on the date shown in the fourth column (42 U.S.C. 4106(b)). The Administrator finds that notice and public comment procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) is impracticable and unnecessary because the community listed in this final rule has been adequately notified.

Winston also opposes the proposed 30 and 15 page limits for dispositive motions and replies, respectively, on the ground that such limits will severely restrict the ability of parties to make their case, particularly those involving complex issues. Winston suggests that no page limits be imposed on non-dispositive motions and that the same limit as exceptions, i.e., 50 pages, be imposed for dispositive motions.

44 CFR Part 64

[Docket ID FEMA-2008-0020; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-8093]

Suspension of Community Eligibility

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: FEMA has scheduled one community for suspension because of its
failure to adopt compliant floodplain management regulations under the
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). If documentation is received
from the community before the effective suspension date, indicating it
has brought its floodplain management program into compliance with the
NFIP requirements, FEMA will withdraw the suspension.

DATES: Effective Dates: The effective date of the community's scheduled
suspension is the date listed in the fourth column of the following
table.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David Stearrett, Federal Insurance and
Mitigation Administration, 1800 South Bell Street Arlington, VA 20598-
3072, (202) 646-2953.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)
enables property owners to purchase flood insurance that is generally
not otherwise available. In return, communities agree to adopt and
implement local floodplain management regulations that contribute to
protecting lives and reducing the risk of property damage from future
flooding. Section 1315 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as
amended (42 U.S.C. 4022), prohibits flood insurance coverage authorized
under the National Flood Insurance Program (42 U.S.C. 4001-4128) unless
an appropriate public body adopts adequate floodplain management
measures with effective administration and enforcement processes.
The community listed in this notice currently has floodplain
management regulations that are scheduled to lapse October 31, 2012. If
the regulations lapse as scheduled, the community will no longer meet
the NFIP requirements set forth at 44 CFR Part 59 et seq. Under 44 CFR
59.24(d), a community will be suspended from the NFIP for repealing its
floodplain management regulations, allowing its regulations to lapse or
amending its regulations so that they no longer meet the minimum
requirements. Accordingly, FEMA is suspending the City of Philadelphia,
Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania (``the City'') on the effective date
in the fourth column of the table. As of that date, the purchase of new
flood insurance policies or the renewal of existing flood insurance
policies under the NFIP will no longer be available.
FEMA will not suspend the City; however, if the community submits
the documentation required by 44 CFR 59.24(d) to show that it has
corrected the deficiencies and remedied the violations identified in
the Suspension letter to the maximum extent possible. This
documentation must be received by FEMA before the actual suspension
date. If the City successfully demonstrates its compliance with NFIP
regulations, FEMA will continue its eligibility for the sale of NFIP
insurance. In the interim, if you wish to determine whether FEMA has
suspended the City on the suspension date, please contact the FEMA
Region III office at (215) 931-5532. Additional information may also be
found at https://www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/floodplain/nfipkeywords/suspension.shtm.
FEMA identified the special flood hazard areas (SFHAs) in this
community by publishing a Flood Insurance Rate Map. The effective date
of this map is indicated in the last column of the table. By law, no
Federally regulated entity may provide financial assistance for
acquisition or construction purposes for property located in a SFHA
unless the community in which the property is located is participating
in the NFIP (42 U.S.C. 4106(a)). The prohibition against certain types
of Federal disaster assistance also becomes effective for the City on
the date shown in the fourth column (42 U.S.C. 4106(b)).
The Administrator finds that notice and public comment procedure
under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) is impracticable and unnecessary because the
community listed in this final rule has been adequately notified. The
community received a Letter from FEMA Region III Administrator on March
2, 2012, advising the City it must submit compliant ordinance by May
31, 2012. The city submitted its ordinance; however, it has a sunset
clause dated for

[[Page 61519]]

October 31, 2012. The City must produce adopted, compliant and signed
floodplain management regulations without a sunset clause before the
scheduled suspension date, November 1, 2012.
FEMA addressed these notifications to the Mayor of the City Council
indicating that we will suspend the City unless the City takes the
required corrective actions before the scheduled suspension date.
Because we have made these notifications, this final rule may take
effect immediately on November 1, 2012.
National Environmental Policy Act. This rule is categorically
excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR Part 10, Environmental
Considerations. No environmental impact assessment has been prepared.
Regulatory Flexibility Act. The Administrator has determined that
this rule is exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act because the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, 42
U.S.C. 4022, prohibits flood insurance coverage unless an appropriate
public body adopts adequate floodplain management measures with
effective enforcement measures. The community listed no longer complies
with the statutory requirements, and after the effective date, flood
insurance will no longer be available in the community unless remedial
action takes place.
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. This rule involves no policies
that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132.
Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This rule meets the
applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.
Paperwork Reduction Act. This rule does not involve any collection
of information for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.
