[Docket ID FEMA–2020–0005; Internal
Agency Docket No. FEMA–8629]
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.
jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with RULES
SUMMARY:
Effective Dates: The effective
date of each community’s scheduled
suspension is the third date (‘‘Susp.’’)
DATES:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:15 May 12, 2020
Jkt 250001
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
PO 00000
Frm 00021
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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
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

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 93 / Wednesday, May 13, 2020 / Rules and Regulations
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

standards of Executive Order 12988.
Paperwork Reduction Act. This rule
does not involve any collection of

II. Background
Section 101 of the Defense Production
Act of 1950, as amended (DPA or the
Act), authorizes the President to require
that performance under contracts or
orders (other than contracts of
employment) which he deems necessary
or appropriate to promote the national
defense take priority over performance
under any other contract or order.1 For
the purpose of assuring such priority,
the President may require acceptance
and performance of such contracts or
orders in preference to other contracts
or orders by any person he finds to be
capable of their performance.2 Section
101 also authorizes the President to
allocate materials, services, and
facilities in such manner, upon such
conditions, and to such extent as he
shall deem necessary or appropriate to
promote the national defense.3 For the
purposes of this discussion, these

44 CFR Part 64
[Docket ID FEMA-2020-0005; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-8629]
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/national-flood-insurance-program-community-status-book.
DATES: Effective 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.
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
[[Page 28500]]
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.
