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).
DATES: 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 BFEs for each community are available for

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA makes the final determinations listed
below of BFEs and modified BFEs for each community listed. The proposed
BFEs and proposed modified BFEs were published in newspapers of local
circulation and an opportunity for the community or individuals to
appeal the proposed determinations to or through the community was
provided for a period of ninety (90) days. The proposed BFEs and
proposed modified BFEs were also published in the Federal Register.
This final rule is issued in accordance with Section 110 of the
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR Part

FEMA has developed criteria for floodplain management in floodprone
areas in accordance with 44 CFR Part 60.

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.

and maintain community eligibility in the NFIP. No regulatory
flexibility analysis has been prepared.
