DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
Federal Emergency Management Agency
44 CFR Part 67
[Docket ID FEMA-2008-0020; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1062]
Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations
AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Comments are requested on the proposed Base (1% annual-chance)
Flood Elevations (BFEs) and proposed BFE modifications for the
following communities: the City of St. Louis, St. Charles and St. Louis
counties in Missouri; and Madison, Monroe, and St. Clair counties in
Illinois. The communities addressed by this rule were the subject of an
act of Congress which required the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) to delay the statutory appeals process required under Section
1363 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, until certain
publication requirements were met for each of these communities.
The purpose of this notice is to seek general information and
comment regarding the proposed regulatory flood elevations for the
reach described by the downstream and upstream locations in the table
below. The BFEs and modified BFEs are a part of the floodplain
management measures that the community is required either to adopt or
show evidence of having in effect in order to qualify or remain
qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP). In addition, these elevations, once finalized, will be used by
insurance agents, and others to calculate appropriate flood insurance
premium rates for new buildings and the contents in those buildings.
DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before October 6, 2009.
ADDRESSES: The corresponding preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map
(FIRM) for the proposed BFEs for each community are available for
inspection at the community's map repository. The respective addresses
are listed in the table below.
You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-1062, to
William R. Blanton, Jr., Chief, Engineering Management Branch,
Mitigation Directorate, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-3151, or (e-mail)
[email protected].
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William R. Blanton, Jr., Chief,
Engineering Management Branch, Mitigation Directorate, Federal
Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472,
(202) 646-3151, or (e-mail) [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) proposes and seeks comment on the Base (1% annual-chance) Flood
Elevations (BFEs) and modified BFEs for each community listed below, in
accordance with section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of
1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
Those communities affected by this proposed rule are the City of
St. Louis, St. Charles and St. Louis counties in Missouri; and Madison,
Monroe, and St. Clair counties in Illinois. The communities addressed
by this rule were the subject of an act of Congress which required the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to delay the statutory
appeals process required under 1363 of the National Flood Insurance Act
of 1968, until certain publication requirements were met for each of
the included communities. Specifically, the legislation stated, ``Until
such time as preliminary flood insurance rate maps initiated prior to
October 1, 2008 are completed and released for public review,
preliminary base flood elevations are published in the Federal
Register, and the second required local newspaper publication of such
base flood elevations is made for the City of St. Louis, St. Charles
and St. Louis counties in Missouri, and Madison, Monroe, and St. Clair
counties in Illinois, the Administration shall not begin the statutory
appeals process in such areas required under 1383 of the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968.'' (Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance,
and Continuing Appropriations Act 2009, Pub. L. 110-329, Div. B, Sec.
10503, 122. Stat. 3574, 3593 (2008)). In accordance with the intent of
the legislation, FEMA intends to initiate concurrent appeal periods for
these Missouri and Illinois communities.
FEMA originally published BFEs for the affected Illinois
communities in proposed rules in 2008. The proposed BFEs for Monroe and
Madison counties published August 18, 2008, at 73 FR 48170. The
proposed BFEs for St. Clair County published September 3, 2008, at 73
FR 51400. The proposed BFEs for Monroe, Madison, and St. Clair counties
which published at 73 FR 48170 and 73 FR 51400 are withdrawn and
replaced by the proposed BFEs set forth below in this rule. FEMA
received no comments on the proposed rules published at 73 FR 48170 and
73 FR 51400. Only one minor change has been made in the proposed BFEs
for these Illinois counties since the 2008 publications. In proposed
rule 73 FR 48170 for Madison County, the existing BFE for the
Mississippi River was listed as 403 feet using the North American
Vertical Datum (NAVD). This was a typographical error and has been
modified to reflect the correct existing BFE of 430 feet NAVD. This
rule is the first publication of proposed BFEs for the affected
Missouri counties.
These proposed BFEs and modified BFEs, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are minimum requirements.
They should not be construed to mean that the community must change any
existing ordinances that are more stringent in their floodplain
management requirements. The community may at any time enact stricter
requirements of its own, or pursuant to policies established by other
Federal, State, or regional entities. These proposed elevations are
used to meet the floodplain management requirements of the NFIP and are
also used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium rates
for new buildings built after these elevations are made final, and for
the contents in these buildings.
Comments on any aspect of the Flood Insurance Study and FIRM, other
than the proposed BFEs, will be considered. A letter acknowledging
receipt of any comments will not be sent.
National Environmental Policy Act. This proposed rule is
categorically excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10,
Environmental Consideration. An environmental
[[Page 32481]]
impact assessment has not been prepared.
Regulatory Flexibility Act. As flood elevation determinations are
not within the scope of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601-
612, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required.
Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review. This
proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under the criteria
of section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as amended.
Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This proposed rule involves no
policies that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132.
Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This proposed rule
meets the applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.
List of Subjects in 44 CFR Part 67

and recordkeeping requirements.
