EPA is removing a sentence
regarding the effective date for judicial
review purposes in the preamble to a
final rule that appeared in the Federal
Register of August 21, 2015 (80 FR
51019). EPA included this sentence in
the preamble to the final rule in error.
Since the final rule does not fall within
any of the actions listed in Clean Water
Act section 509, it was not necessary to
specify an effective date for judicial
review purposes in the preamble. With
this correction there is no delay in the
effective date for purposes of judicial
review, and parties choosing to do so
may therefore seek judicial review at
this time.
DATES: This correction is effective as of
August 21, 2015.

SUMMARY:

17:35 Sep 24, 2015
Jkt 235001
DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND
SECURITY
Suspension of Community Eligibility
Federal Emergency
Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: 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. Also, information
identifying the current participation
status of a community can be obtained
from FEMA’s Community Status Book
(CSB). The CSB is available at https://
www.fema.gov/fema/csb.shtm.
DATES: The effective date of each
community’s scheduled suspension is
the third date (‘‘Susp.’’) listed in the
third column of the following tables.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If
you want to determine whether a
PO 00000

particular community was suspended
on the suspension date or for further
information, contact Bret Gates, Federal
Insurance and Mitigation
Administration, Federal Emergency
Management Agency, 500 C Street SW.,
Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646–4133.
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
E:\FR\FM\25SER1.SGM
25SER1
57735
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 186 / Friday, September 25, 2015 / Rules and Regulations
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
suspended unless the required
floodplain management measures are
met prior to the effective suspension
date. Since these notifications were
made, this final rule may take effect
within less than 30 days.
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, Section 1315, 42
U.S.C. 4022, prohibits flood insurance
coverage unless an appropriate public
body adopts adequate floodplain
management measures with effective
enforcement measures. The
communities listed no longer comply
with the statutory requirements, and
after the effective date, flood insurance
will no longer be available in the
communities 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.

Background
Recently, the Department of
Commerce (DOC) published a proposed
rule and a final rule in the Federal
Register (79 FR 11025, February 27,
2014; 79 FR 62553, October 20, 2014)
implementing revisions to DOC FOIA
regulations. The DOC FOIA regulations
were revised to clarify, update and
streamline the language of several
procedural provisions, including using
FOIAonline, a web-based tracking and
processing tool for FOIA requests.
NOAA now uses FOIAonline to receive,
securely manage and respond to FOIA
requests submitted by the public.
NMFS has existing regulations for
handling FOIA requests received by the
Councils entitled ‘‘Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) requests.’’ 50
CFR 600.155. These regulations provide
that the NOAA FOIA Officer will
prepare a Form CD–244, ‘‘FOIA Request
PO 00000
Frm 00045
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
and Action Record,’’ for FOIA requests
received by a Council.
Corrections
NMFS is revising regulations at
§ 600.155(a) and (b) to reflect the use of
FOIAonline. This action specifically
amends the regulations to remove the
requirement to prepare a Form CD–244
and to clarify that, after FOIA requests
received by a Council are coordinated
with the appropriate NMFS Regional
Office (Region), the Region then
forwards the request to the NOAA FOIA
officer who enters the FOIA request into
FOIAonline. No other changes are being
considered or implemented.
Classification
The NMFS Assistant Administrator
has determined that this rule is
consistent with the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act and other applicable laws.
This rule has been determined to be
not significant for purposes of Executive
Order 12866.
This rule pertains solely to agency
procedure and corrects existing
regulations to reflect the current
practice for processing FOIA requests
received by a Council. It makes no
changes to the substantive legal rights,
obligations, or interests of affected
parties. This rule therefore is a ‘‘rule of
agency organization, procedure or
practice’’ and is therefore exempt from
the notice-and-comment requirements
of the Administrative Procedure Act at
5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A).

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
Federal Emergency Management Agency
44 CFR Part 64
[Docket ID FEMA-2015-0001; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-8401]
Suspension of Community Eligibility
AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: 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. Also, information identifying
the current participation status of a community can be obtained from
FEMA's Community Status Book (CSB). The CSB is available at https://www.fema.gov/fema/csb.shtm.
DATES: The effective date of each community's scheduled suspension is
the third date (``Susp.'') listed in the third column of the following
tables.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you want to determine whether a
particular community was suspended on the suspension date or for
further information, contact Bret Gates, Federal Insurance and
Mitigation Administration, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C
Street SW., Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-4133.
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
[[Page 57735]]
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 suspended unless the required floodplain management
measures are met prior to the effective suspension date. Since these
notifications were made, this final rule may take effect within less
than 30 days.
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,
Section 1315, 42 U.S.C. 4022, prohibits flood insurance coverage unless
an appropriate public body adopts adequate floodplain management
measures with effective enforcement measures. The communities listed no
longer comply with the statutory requirements, and after the effective
date, flood insurance will no longer be available in the communities
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.
