Sec. 1.6  Ex parte communications.



    In rulemaking proceedings subject only to the procedural 

requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553:

    (a) All oral communications from outside FEMA of significant 

information and argument respecting the merits of a proposed rule, 

received after notice of proposed informal rulemaking and in its course 

by FEMA or its offices and divisions or their personnel participating in 

the decision, should be summarized in writing and placed promptly in the 

Rules Docket File available for public inspection.

    (b) FEMA may conclude that restrictions on ex parte communications 

in particular rulemaking proceedings are necessitated by consideration 

of fairness or for other reasons.
