States 2 is required to hold economic
authority from the Department pursuant
to 49 U.S.C. 41101, either in the form of
a ‘‘certificate of public convenience and
necessity’’ or in the form of an
exemption from the certificate
requirement. This authority is separate
and distinct from any safety authority
required by the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA).
Companies proposing to operate UAS
to engage in air transportation,
including the delivery of goods for
compensation, must first obtain
certificate or exemption authority from
the Department prior to engaging in the
air transportation. The Department
intends to use its existing regulatory
procedures for processing UAS
operators’ requests for economic
authority. The Department’s regulation
in 14 CFR part 298 (part 298) provides
an exemption to air taxi operators from
the certificate requirements of 49 U.S.C.
41101, provided that, among other
things, the air carrier is a citizen of the
United States as defined in 49 U.S.C.
40102(a)(15), maintains liability
insurance required by part 205 of our
rules (14 CFR part 205), and registers
with the Department.3 The exemption
authority conferred by part 298 is not
available to air carriers that operate
‘‘large’’ aircraft.4 For UAS operators
looking to transport goods for
compensation, an exemption under part
298 is an appropriate form of economic
authority. The Department will consider
whether granting the exemption is
appropriate based on the specific facts
and circumstances of each proposed
operation.
To become an air taxi operator,
operators must submit a registration
application (OST Form 4507) and a
current aircraft liability insurance
international, or U.S. territorial boundaries, or
wholly within a U.S. territory or the District of
Columbia, or between islands in the State of
Hawaii; or the transportation of more than a de
minimis volume of property moving as part of a
continuous journey when any portion of the
journey is conducted by aircraft. The assessment of
whether property transported wholly within one
state is more than a de minimis amount or is part
of a continuous journey thereby constituting ‘‘air
transportation’’ is specific to the facts and
circumstances of each operation. 49 U.S.C.
40102(a)(5) and 14 CFR 298.2.
2 A ‘‘citizen of the United States’’ includes a
corporation organized in the United States that (1)
meets certain specified standards regarding the
citizenship of its president, officers and directors,
and holders of its voting interest and (2) is under
the actual control of citizens of the United States.
49 U.S.C. 40102(a)(15).
3 See 14 CFR 298.3, 298.11, and 298.24.
4 Large aircraft means any aircraft originally
designed to have a maximum passenger capacity of
more than 60 seats or a maximum payload capacity
of more than 18,000 pounds (See 14 CFR 298.2).

certificate (OST Form 6410).5 A
stamped OST Form 4507 with an
effective date will be sent to the
operator as confirmation of its approved
air taxi registration with the
Department. Initial registrations must be
mailed along with the required filing
fee.6 Air taxis located in the State of
Alaska must submit their OST Form
4507 and OST Form 6410 to Federal
Aviation Administration, Alaskan
Regional Headquarters, AAL–231, 222

electronically at AFS-260-Insurance@

concerning air taxi registration can also

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. 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/national-floodinsurance-program-community-statusbook.
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 Adrienne L.
Sheldon, PE, CFM, Federal Insurance
and Mitigation Administration, Federal
Emergency Management Agency, 400 C
Street SW, Washington, DC 20472, (202)
212–3966.
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.
E:\FR\FM\30APR1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 83 / Monday, April 30, 2018 / Rules and Regulations
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
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.
FEMA has determined that the
community suspension(s) included in
this rule is a non-discretionary action
and therefore the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) does not apply.
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,
