DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
Federal Emergency Management Agency
44 CFR Part 64
[Docket No. FEMA-7778]
List of Communities Eligible for the Sale of Flood Insurance
AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, Emergency Preparedness and
Response Directorate, Department of Homeland Security.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This rule identifies communities participating in the National
Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and suspended from the NFIP. These
communities have applied to the program and have agreed to enact
certain floodplain management measures. The communities' participation
in the program authorizes the sale of flood insurance to owners of
property located in the communities listed.
DATES: Effective Dates: The dates listed under the column headed
Effective Date of Eligibility.
ADDRESSES: Flood insurance policies for property located in the
communities listed can be obtained from any licensed property insurance
agent or broker serving the eligible community or from the NFIP at:
(800) 638-6620.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael M. Grimm, Mitigation Division,
500 C Street, SW.; Room 412, Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-2878.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP enables property owners to purchase
flood insurance which is generally not otherwise available. In return,
communities agree to adopt and administer local floodplain management
measures aimed at protecting lives and new construction from future
flooding. Since the communities on the attached list have recently
entered the NFIP, subsidized flood insurance is now available for
property in the community.
In addition, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has identified
the special flood hazard areas in some of these communities by
publishing a Flood Hazard Boundary Map (FHBM) or Flood Insurance Rate
Map (FIRM). The date of the flood map, if one has been published, is
indicated in the fourth column of the table. In the communities listed
where a flood map has been published, Section 202 of the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4016(a), requires the
purchase of flood insurance as a condition of Federal or federally
related financial assistance for acquisition or construction of
buildings in the special flood hazard areas shown on the map.
The Administrator finds that delayed effective dates would be
contrary to the public interest and that notice and public procedure
under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and unnecessary.
National Environmental Policy Act. This rule is categorically
excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR Part 10, Environmental
Considerations. No environmental impact assessment has been prepared.
Regulatory Flexibility Act. The Administrator certifies that this
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities in accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility
Act, 5 U. S. C. 601 et seq., because the rule creates no additional
burden, but lists those communities eligible for the sale of flood
insurance.
Regulatory Classification. This final rule is not a significant
regulatory action under the criteria of section 3(f) of Executive Order
12866 of September 30, 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, 58 FR
51735.
Paperwork Reduction Act. This rule does not involve any collection
of information for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.
Executive Order 12612, Federalism. This rule involves no policies
that have federalism implications under Executive Order 12612,
Federalism, October 26, 1987, 3 CFR, 1987 Comp., p. 252.
Executive Order 12778, Civil Justice Reform. This rule meets the
applicable standards of section 2(b)(2) of Executive Order 12778,
October 25, 1991, 56 FR 55195, 3 CFR, 1991 Comp., p. 309.
