SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-52830; File No. SR-OCC-2005-15]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; the Options Clearing Corporation;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change
Relating to Rejection of Erroneous Post-Trade Instructions

November 23, 2005.
    Pursuant to section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934,\1\ notice is hereby given that on October 26, 2005, The Options
Clearing Corporation (``OCC'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II and III
below, which Items have been prepared primarily by OCC. OCC filed the
proposed rule change pursuant to section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \2\
and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) thereunder \3\ which renders the proposal
effective upon filing with the Commission. The Commission is publishing
this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from
interested persons.

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(ii).
    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of the
Substance of the Proposed Rule Change

    The proposed rule change will authorize OCC to reject all types of
post-trade transactions when OCC determines, in its sole discretion,
that the input regarding the adjustment or other transaction contains
an error or omission.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, OCC included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The self-regulatory organization has prepared summaries,
set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant
aspects of such statements.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Commission has modified the text of the summaries
prepared by OCC.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    Under the proposed rule change, OCC will amend Article VI, Section
1, of its By-Laws by adding paragraph (c) to Interpretations and
Policies .01 and will amend Rule 403(b) to expressly authorize OCC to
reject all types of post-trade transactions that OCC determines, in its
sole discretion, that the input regarding the adjustment or other
transaction contains an error or omission.
    OCC occasionally receives instructions from clearing members
attempting to effect post-trade transactions, such as clearing member
trade assignment (``CMTA'') \5\ transfers and position adjustments,
that appear to be erroneous and that if not corrected would create
large settlement obligations that could pose substantial credit risk
for OCC. For example, recently an OCC clearing member submitted a CMTA
transfer instruction specifying a premium value of $6,500 instead of
$1.65 that would have produced a $5 billion settlement requirement.
Such mistakes are ordinarily corrected by communicating with the
clearing member or clearing members involved. However, OCC may not
always be able to contact the affected parties or to obtain a timely
agreement as to the appropriate corrective measure.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ For an explanation of CMTA, refer to Securities Exchange Act
Release No. 51350 (Mar. 9, 2005), 70 FR 12934 (Mar. 16, 2005).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Currently, OCC's By-Laws and Rules do not expressly authorize OCC
to reject post-trade transactions when OCC determines that the input
regarding such transactions contains an error or omission.\6\ Unlike
option exchange transactions, for which it is OCC's general policy not
to reject, post-trade transactions have not been examined for errors
through the trade matching process and, therefore, are more vulnerable
to errors and omissions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ In contrast, OCC Rules 614(c) and (e) authorize OCC to
reject erroneous instructions for pledge positions and to release
pledged positions, and OCC Rule 2202 enables OCC to reject erroneous
stock loan transactions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    OCC believes that the proposed changes are consistent with the
purposes and requirements of section 17A of the Act \7\ because such
changes are designed to enable OCC to safeguard securities and funds in
its possession or control for which it is responsible.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    OCC believes that the proposed rule change will not impact or
impose any burden on competition.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others

    OCC has not solicited or received written comments relating to the
proposed rule change. OCC will notify the Commission of any written
comments it receives.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to section
19(b)(3)(A)(i) of the Act \8\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(1) \9\ thereunder
because it constitutes a stated policy, practice, or interpretation
with respect to the meaning, administration, or enforcement of an
existing rule. At any time within sixty days of the filing of such
proposed rule change, the Commission may summarily abrogate such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(i).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this Action Apply to Me?

    This action is directed to the public in general, and may be of
interest to a wide range of stakeholders including environmental, human
health, and agricultural advocates; the chemical industry; pesticide
users; and members of the public interested in the sale, distribution,
or use of pesticides. Since others also may be interested, the Agency
has not attempted to describe all the specific entities that may be
affected by this action. If you have any questions regarding the
applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the person
listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

    1.  Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2.  Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).

     ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
     iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
     viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.

II. Background

A. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    EPA is releasing for public comment its human health and
environmental fate and effects risk assessments and related documents
for the naphthenate salts, and soliciting public comment on risk
management ideas or proposals. The naphthenate salts are microbiocide/
microbiostat, miticide, fungicides, insecticides, algaecide and
herbicide/terrestrial chemicals. EPA developed the risk assessments and
risk characterization for the naphthenate salts through a modified
version of its public process for making pesticide reregistration
eligibility and tolerance reassessment decisions. Through these
programs, EPA is ensuring that pesticides meet current standards under
the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), as amended by the Food
Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA).
    The naphthenate salts are used predominantly in industrial and
commercial wood preservation for non-pressure (dip/brush/spray) and
pressure treatments (vacuum/full-cell) to protect against fungal rot,
decay, termites and wood-boring insects in unfinished wood and various
fabricated wood products. These preservatives are also used for
remedial treatments to in-service poles (internal/external surfaces at
ground or below-ground level via brush/trowel, mechanical injection, or
bandage wrap). Treated wood is specified for exterior above-ground,
ground-contact, below-ground and fresh or salt water contact use
applications. The naphthenate salts are also used as protective wood
preservative surface treatments when applied to bare seasoned wood.
Copper/zinc naphthenates are also used for mainly commercial/industrial
materials preservation of cellulose-based cordage/textiles. Products
are used as fungistats to control rot and mildew and are registered for
impregnation by dip (primarily), or by spray and brush surface
treatment. It is additionally used for incorporation into industrial
textiles meeting military or government-specified needs. Examples of
the materials/wood preserved using naphthenate salts include cellulose-
based fibers in cordage (ropes, twine, nets) and non-apparel and
industrial textiles (tents, awnings, tarpaulins, canvas products,
burlap, truck and boat covers, and non-rubber fabrics); outdoor wood
building materials, such as particle board; lumber, patio decking,
fence posts, and other wood products; and in-service wood utility poles
and similar members.
    EPA is providing an opportunity, through this notice, for
interested parties to provide comments and input on the Agency's risk
assessments for the naphthenate salts. Such comments and input could
address, for example, the availability of additional data to further
refine the risk assessments, such as dermal toxicity data to support
the wood preservation use; inhalation toxicity data, or could address
the Agency's risk assessment methodologies and assumptions as applied
to this specific pesticide.
    Through this notice, EPA also is providing an opportunity for
interested parties to provide risk management proposals or otherwise
comment on risk management for the naphthenate salts. Risks of concern
associated with the use of the naphthenate salts are: Occupational
handler exposure and risks of concern resulting from preservation of
textiles and wood preservation; Residential handler exposure and risks
of concern resulting from application of preservative coatings/water
repellents for protection of outdoor-use wood/textiles (via brush/
roller and low pressure sprayer). In targeting these risks of concern,
the Agency solicits information on effective and practical risk
reduction measures.
    EPA seeks to achieve environmental justice, the fair treatment and
meaningful involvement of all people, regardless of race, color,
national origin, or income, in the development, implementation, and
enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. To help
address potential environmental justice issues, the Agency seeks
information on any groups or segments of the population who, as a
result of their location, cultural practices, or other factors, may
have atypical, unusually high exposure to the naphthenate salts,
compared to the general population.
    EPA is applying the principles of public participation to all
pesticides undergoing reregistration and tolerance reassessment. The
Agency's Pesticide Tolerance Reassessment and Reregistration; Public
Participation Process, published in the Federal Register on May 14,
2004 (69 FR 26819) (FRL-7357-9), explains that in conducting these
programs, the Agency is tailoring its public participation process to
be commensurate with the level of risk, extent of use, complexity of
the issues, and degree of public concern associated with each
pesticide. For the napthenate salts, a modified, 4-Phase process with
one comment period and ample opportunity for public consultation seems
appropriate in view of its refined risk assessment. However, if as a
result of comments received during this comment period EPA finds that
additional issues warranting further discussion are raised, the Agency
may lengthen the process and include a second comment period, as
needed.
    All comments should be submitted using the methods in ADDRESSES,
and must be received by EPA on or before the closing date. Comments
will become part of the Agency Docket for the napthenate salts.
Comments received after the close of the comment period will be marked
``late.'' EPA is not required to consider these late comments.

B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

    Section 4(g)(2) of FIFRA as amended directs that, after submission
of all data concerning a pesticide active ingredient, ``the
Administrator shall determine whether pesticides containing such active
ingredient are eligible for reregistration,'' before calling in
product-specific data on individual end-use products and either
reregistering products or taking other ``appropriate regulatory
action.''
    Section 408(q) of the FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 346a(q), requires EPA to
review tolerances and exemptions for pesticide residues in effect as of
August 2, 1996, to determine whether the tolerance or exemption meets
the requirements of section 408(b)(2) or (c)(2) of FFDCA. This review
was completed by August 3, 2006.

No. 25189 83 7]. That notice included a summary of the petition prepared by the petitioner. There were no comments in response to the notice of filing].

Section 408( c)( 2)( A)( i) of the FFDCA allows EPA to establish an exemption from the requirement for a tolerance ( the legal limit for a pesticide chemical residue in or on a food) only if EPA determines that the tolerance is " safe." Section 408( c)( 2)( A)( ii) of the FFDCA defines " safe" to mean that " there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue, including all anticipated dietary exposures and all other exposures for which there is reliable information." This includes exposure through drinking water and in residential settings, but does not include occupational exposure. Section 408( b)( 2)( C) of the FFDCA requires EPA to give special consideration to exposure of infants and children to the pesticide chemical residue in establishing an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance and to " ensure that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to infants and children from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue..." and specifies factors EPA is to consider in establishing an exemption.

III. Inert Ingredient Definition Inert ingredients are all ingredients that are not active ingredients as defined in 40 CFR 153.125 and include, but are not limited to, the following types of ingredients ( except when they have a pesticidal efficacy of their own): Solvents such as alcohols and hydrocarbons; surfactants such as polyoxyethylene polymers and fatty acids; carriers such as clay and diatomaceous earth; thickeners such as carrageenan and modified cellulose; wetting, spreading, and dispersing agents; propellants in aerosol dispensers; microencapsulating agents; and emulsifiers. The term " inert" is not intended to imply nontoxicity; the ingredient may or may not be chemically active. Generally, EPA has exempted inert ingredients from the requirement of a tolerance based on the low toxicity of the individual inert ingredients. 5 IV. Risk Assessment and Statutory Findings EPA establishes exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance only in those cases where it can be shown that the risks from aggregate exposure to pesticide chemical residues under reasonably foreseeable circumstances will pose no appreciable risks to human health. In order to determine the risks from aggregate exposure to pesticide inert ingredients, the Agency considers the toxicity of the inert in conjunction with possible exposure to residues of the inert ingredient through food, drinking water, and through other exposures that occur as a result of pesticide use in residential settings. If EPA is able to determine that a finite tolerance is not necessary to ensure that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate exposure to the inert ingredient, an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance may be established.

Consistent with section 408( b)( 2)( D) of the FFDCA, EPA has reviewed the available scientific data and other relevant information in support of this action and considered its validity, completeness and reliability and the relationship of this information to human risk. EPA has also considered available information concerning the variability of the sensitivities of major identifiable subgroups of consumers, including infants and children. In the case of certain chemical substances that are defined as polymers, the Agency has established a set of criteria to identify categories of polymers that should present minimal or no risk. The definition of a polymer is given in 40 CFR 723.250( b). The following exclusion criteria for identifying these low risk polymers are described in 40 CFR 723.250( d).

1. The polymer, [ 2H azepin 2 one, 1 ethenylhexahydro, homopolymer ], is not a cationic polymer nor is it reasonably anticipated to become a cationic polymer in a natural aquatic environment.

2. The polymer does contain as an integral part of its composition the atomic elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

3. The polymer does not contain as an integral part of its composition, except as impurities, any element other than those listed in 40 CFR 723.250( d)( 2)( ii).

4. The polymer is neither designed nor can it be reasonably anticipated to substantially degrade, decompose, or depolymerize.

5. The polymer is manufactured or imported from monomers and/ or reactants that are already included on the TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory or manufactured under an applicable TSCA section 5 exemption.

6. The polymer is not a water absorbing polymer with a number average molecular weight ( MW) greater than or equal to 10,000 daltons.

Additionally, the polymer, [ 2H azepin 2 one, 1 ethenylhexahydro, homopolymer], also meets as required the following exemption criteria specified in 40 CFR 723.250( e). 6 7. The polymer's number average molecular weight ( MW) of [ 4500] is greater than 1,000 and less than 10,000 daltons. The polymer contains less than 10% oligomeric material below MW 500 and less than 25% oligomeric material below MW 1,000, and the polymer does not contain any reactive functional groups.

Thus, [ 2H azepin 2 one, 1 ethenylhexahydro, homopolymer ] meet all the criteria for a polymer to be considered low risk under 40 CFR 723.250. Based on its conformance to the above criteria, no mammalian toxicity is anticipated from dietary, inhalation, or dermal exposure to [ 2H azepin 2 one, 1 ethenylhexahydro, homopolymer ].

V. Aggregate Exposures For the purposes of assessing potential exposure under this exemption, EPA considered that [ 2H azepin 2 one, 1 ethenylhexahydro, homopolymer ] could be present in all raw and processed agricultural commodities and drinking water, and that non occupational non dietary exposure was possible. The number average MW of [ 2H azepin 2 one, 1 ethenylhexahydro, homopolymer ] is [ 4500] daltons. Generally, a polymer of this size would be poorly absorbed through the intact gastrointestinal tract or through intact human skin. Since [ 2H azepin 2 one, 1 ethenylhexahydro, homopolymer ] conform to the criteria that identify a low risk polymer, there are no concerns for risks associated with any potential exposure scenarios that are reasonably foreseeable. The Agency has determined that a tolerance is not necessary to protect the public health.

VI. Cumulative Effects Section 408 ( b)( 2)( D)( v) of FFDCA requires that, when considering whether to establish, modify, or revoke a tolerance or tolerance exemption, the Agency consider " available information" concerning the cumulative effects of a particular chemical's residues and " other substances that have a common mechanism of toxicity." EPA does not have, at this time, available data to determine whether [ 2H azepin 2 one, 1 ethenylhexahydro, homopolymer ] has a common mechanism of toxicity with other substances. Unlike other pesticides for which EPA has followed a cumulative risk approach based on a common mechanism of toxicity, EPA has not made a common mechanism of toxicity finding as to [ 2H azepin 2 one, 1 ethenylhexahydro, homopolymer ] and any other substances and [ 2H azepin 2 one, 1 ethenylhexahydro, homopolymer ] does not appear to produce a toxic metabolite produced by other substances. For the purposes of this tolerance action, therefore, EPA has not assumed that [ 2H azepin 2 one, 1 ethenylhexahydro, homopolymer ] has a common mechanism of toxicity with other substances. For information regarding EPA's efforts to determine which chemicals have a common mechanism of toxicity and to evaluate the cumulative effects of such chemicals, see the policy statements released by EPA's Office of Pesticide Programs concerning common mechanism determinations and procedures for cumulating effects from substances found to have a common mechanism on EPA's website at http:// www. epa. gov/ pesticides/ cumulative. 7 VII. Additional Safety Factor for the Protection of Infants and Children Section 408 of the FFDCA provides that EPA shall apply an additional tenfold margin of safety for infants and children in the case of threshold effects to account for prenatal and postnatal toxicity and the completeness of the data base unless EPA concludes that a different margin of safety will be safe for infants and children. Due to the expected low toxicity of [ 2H azepin 2 one, 1 ethenylhexahydro, homopolymer ], EPA has not used a safety factor analysis to assess the risk. For the same reasons the additional tenfold safety factor is unnecessary.

VIII. Determination of Safety Based on the conformance to the criteria used to identify a low risk polymer, EPA concludes that there is a reasonable certainty of no harm to the U. S. population, including infants and children, from aggregate exposure to residues of [ 2H azepin 2 one, 1 ethenylhexahydro, homopolymer ].

IX. Other Considerations A. Endocrine Disruptors There is no available evidence that [ 2H azepin 2 one, 1 ethenylhexahydro, homopolymer ] is an endocrine disruptor.

B. Existing Exemptions from a Tolerance C. Analytical Enforcement Methodology An analytical method is not required for enforcement purposes since the Agency is establishing an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance without any numerical limitation.

D. International Tolerances The Agency is not aware of any country requiring a tolerance for [ 2H azepin 2 one, 1 ethenylhexahydro, homopolymer ] nor have any CODEX Maximum Residue Levels ( MRLs) been established for any food crops at this time.

X. Conclusion Accordingly, EPA finds that exempting residues of [ 2H azepin 2 one, 1 ethenylhexahydro, homopolymer ] from the requirement of a tolerance will be safe.

XI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews This final rule establishes an exemption from the tolerance requirement under section 8 408( d) of the FFDCA in response to a petition submitted to the Agency. The Office of Management and Budget ( OMB) has exempted these types of actions from review under Executive Order 12866, entitled Regulatory Planning and Review ( 58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). Because this rule has been exempted from review under Executive Order 12866 due to its lack of significance, this rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use ( 66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). This final rule does not contain any information collections subject to OMB approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act ( PRA), 44 U. S. C. 3501 et seq., or impose any enforceable duty or contain any unfunded mandate as described under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 ( UMRA) ( Public Law 104 4). Nor does it require any special considerations under Executive Order 12898, entitled Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low Income Populations ( 59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994); or OMB review or any Agency action under Executive Order 13045, entitled Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks ( 62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997). This action does not involve any technical standards that would require Agency consideration of voluntary consensus standards pursuant to section 12( d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 ( NTTAA), Public Law 104 113, section 12( d) ( 15 U. S. C. 272 note). Since tolerances and exemptions that are established on the basis of a petition under section 408( d) of the FFDCA, such as the exemption in this final rule, do not require the issuance of a proposed rule, the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act ( RFA) ( 5 U. S. C. 601 et seq.) do not apply. [ If this rule is adopting a proposed rule add the following sentence.] The Agency hereby certifies that this rule will not have significant negative economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. In addition, the Agency has determined that this action will not have a substantial direct effect on States, on the relationship between the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government, as specified in Executive Order 13132, entitled Federalism ( 64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999). Executive Order 13132 requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure " meaningful and timely input by State and local officials in the development of regulatory policies that have federalism implications." " Policies that have federalism implications" is defined in the Executive order to include regulations that have " substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship between the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government." This final rule directly regulates growers, food processors, food handlers and food retailers, not States. This action does not alter the relationships or distribution of power and responsibilities established by Congress in the preemption provisions of section 408( n)( 4) of the FFDCA. For these same reasons, the Agency has determined that this rule does not have any " tribal implications" as described in Executive Order 13175, entitled Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments ( 65 FR 67249, November 6, 2000). Executive Order 13175, requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure " meaningful and timely input by tribal officials in the development of regulatory policies that have tribal implications." " Policies that have tribal implications" is defined in the Executive order to include regulations that have " substantial direct effects on one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and the Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes." This rule will not have substantial direct effects on tribal governments, on the relationship 9 between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, as specified in Executive Order 13175. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this rule.

XII. Congressional Review Act The Congressional Review Act, 5 U. S. C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule, to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other required information to the U. S. Senate, the U. S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of this rule in the Federal Register. This rule is not a " major rule" as defined by 5 U. S. C. 804( 2).

Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, or
the regulatory floodway (hereinafter referred to as flood hazard
determinations), as shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and
where applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS)
reports, prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for
each community, is appropriate because of new scientific or technical
data. The FIRM, and where applicable, portions of the FIS report, have
been revised to reflect these flood hazard determinations through
issuance of a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in accordance with Federal
Regulations. The currently effective community number is shown in the
table below and must be used for all new policies and renewals.

DATES: These flood hazard determinations will be finalized on the dates
listed in the table below and revise the FIRM panels and FIS report in
effect prior to this determination for the listed communities.
    From the date of the second publication of notification of these
changes in a newspaper of local circulation, any person has 90 days in
which to request through the community that the Deputy Associate
Administrator for Insurance and Mitigation reconsider the changes. The
flood hazard determination information may be changed during the 90-day
period.

ADDRESSES: The affected communities are listed in the table below.
Revised flood hazard information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov for
comparison.
    Submit comments and/or appeals to the Chief Executive Officer of
the community as listed in the table below.
