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.
