Response Directorate, Department of Homeland Security.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Base (1% annual-chance) Flood Elevations and modified Base
Flood Elevations (BFEs) are made final for the communities listed
below. The BFEs and modified BFEs are the basis for the floodplain
management measures that each community is required either to adopt or
to show evidence of being already in effect in order to qualify or
remain qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP).

EFFECTIVE DATE: The date of issuance of the Flood Insurance Rate Map
(FIRM) showing BFEs and modified BFEs for each community. This date may
be obtained by contacting the office where the FIRM is available for
inspection as indicated in the table below.

ADDRESSES: The final base flood elevations for each community are
available for inspection at the office of the Chief Executive Officer
of each community. The respective addresses are listed in the table
below.

Identification Section, Emergency Preparedness and Response

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
makes the final determinations listed below of BFEs and modified BFEs
for each community listed. These modified elevations have been
published in newspapers of local circulation and ninety (90) days have
elapsed since that publication. The Mitigation Division Director of the
Emergency Preparedness and Response Directorate has resolved any
appeals resulting from this notification.
This final rule is issued in accordance with section 110 of the
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and 44 CFR part
67.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has developed criteria for
floodplain management in floodprone areas in accordance with 44 CFR
part 60.
Interested lessees and owners of real property are encouraged to

The BFEs and modified BFEs are made final in the communities listed
below. Elevations at selected locations in each community are shown.

excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10, Environmental
Consideration. No environmental impact assessment has been prepared.

Emergency Preparedness and Response Directorate certifies that this
rule is exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act
because modified base flood elevations are required by the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are required to
establish and maintain community eligibility in the NFIP. No regulatory
flexibility analysis has been prepared.
