DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP95-35-001]

EcoEl[eacute]ctrica, L.P.; Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed EcoEl[eacute]ctrica Terminal
Modification Project

February 13, 2009.
    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) on the
liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities proposed by EcoEl[eacute]ctrica,
L.P. (EcoEl[eacute]ctrica) in the above-referenced docket.
    The EA was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act. The FERC staff concludes that approval of the
proposed project, with appropriate mitigating measures, would not
constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality
of the human environment.
    The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the
construction and operation of EcoEl[eacute]ctrica's proposed Terminal
Modification Project (Project). The Project would utilize a previously
constructed natural gas pipeline at the existing EcoEl[eacute]ctrica
LNG terminal that extends to the facility fence line where it would
interconnect with Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority's (PREPA)
facilities. The Project would also involve construction of:
     Two additional vertical shell and tube heat exchanger
vaporizers;
     One fixed speed, in-tank LNG sendout pump;

     Three seawater heat exchangers (plate and frame type, one
operational, and two spare);
     Three water/glycol circulation pumps (one operational, two
spare);
     One water/glycol expansion tank at 1,800 gallons;
     One seawater supply pump (warehouse spare) at 6,000
gallons per minute; and
     Three seawater circulation pumps (one operational, two
spare).
    The Project would provide an additional 77 to 93 million cubic feet
per day of natural gas to the PREPA.
    The EA has been placed in the public files of the FERC. A limited
number of copies of the EA are available for distribution and public
inspection at: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Public Reference
Room, 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, (202) 502-
8371.
    Copies of the EA have been mailed to federal, state, and local
agencies; public interest groups; interested individuals and affected
landowners; newspapers and libraries; and parties to this proceeding.
    Any person wishing to comment on the EA may do so. To ensure
consideration prior to a Commission decision on the proposal, it is

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2023-0508]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Marathon July 4th Fireworks, Marathon, FL

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone on the
waters surrounding Marathon, Florida, during the Marathon July 4th
Fireworks event. The safety zone will encompass a 200-yard radius on
Sombrero Beach. The safety zone is necessary to ensure the safety of
participant vessels, spectators, and the general public during the
event. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited unless
specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port (COTP) Key West or a
designated representative.

DATES: This rule is effective from 8 p.m. until 10 p.m. on July 4,
2023.

ADDRESSES: To view documents mentioned in this preamble as being
available in the docket, go to http://www.regulations.gov, type USCG-
2023-0508 in the search box and click ``Search.'' Next, in the Document
Type column, select ``Supporting & Related Material.''

[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

COTP Captain of the Port
CFR Code of Federal Regulations
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section
4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to

comment when the agency for good cause finds that those procedures are
``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.''
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists
for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) with respect
to this rule because doing so would be impracticable and contrary to
the public interest. The Coast Guard did not receive final details of
the event until June 1, 2023, and the event is scheduled to take place
on July 4, 2023. The event would begin before the rulemaking process
would be completed. Because of the dangers posed by the fireworks
display, a safety zone is necessary without delay to ensure the safety
of persons, vessels, and the marine environment. It is impracticable
and contrary to the public interest to delay this rule because it is
necessary to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment
from potential hazards created by the fireworks display.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this temporary rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date of
this rule would be impracticable because immediate action is needed to
respond to the potential safety hazards associated with the fireworks
display.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under the authority in 46
U.S.C. 70034. The Captain of the Port Key West (COTP) has determined
that potential hazards associated with the Marathon July 4th Fireworks
event will be a safety concern for anyone within a 200-yard radius from
position 24[deg]41.470' N, 081[deg]05.205' W, on Sombrero Beach near
Marathon, FL. This rule is necessary to ensure the safety of the event
participants, the general public, vessels and the navigable waters of
Marathon, Florida, during the Marathon July 4th Fireworks event.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a safety zone on certain navigable waters of
Marathon, FL, during the Marathon July 4th Fireworks event. The safety
zone will encompass a 200-yard radius from position 24[deg]41.470' N,
081[deg]05.205' W, on Sombrero Beach. The safety zone will be enforced
from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. on July 4, 2023. Approximately 300 spectator
craft are anticipated to attend the event. No person or vessel will be
permitted to enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within the
safety zone without obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated
representative. If authorization to enter, transit through, anchor in,
or remain within the safety zone is granted by the COTP or a designated
representative, all persons and vessels receiving such authorization
must comply with the instructions of the COTP or a designated
representative. The Coast Guard will provide notice of the safety zone
by Broadcast Notice to Mariners, and/or by on-scene designated
representatives.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. This rule has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as
amended by Executive Order 14094 (Modernizing Regulatory Review).
Accordingly, this rule has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB).
    This regulatory action determination is based on the location,
duration, and time-of-day of the safety zone. This rule involves a
safety zone that will prohibit persons and vessels from entering,
transiting through, anchoring in, or remaining within a limited area on
the navigable waters of Key West, Florida, during a firework display
lasting thirty minutes. Although persons and vessels may not enter,
transit through, anchor in, or remain within the zone without
authorization from the COTP or a designated representative, they will
be able to safely transit around the safety zone. Moreover, the Coast
Guard would issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners via VHF-FM marine
channel 16 about the zone, and the rule would allow vessels to seek
permission to enter the zone.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule
would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect 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. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian

tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian
tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between
the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in
this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Directive 023-01, Rev. 1, associated implementing instructions and
Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), which guide the Coast
Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined that this action is one of
a category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human environment. This rule involves a
safety zone that will prohibit persons and vessels from entering,
transiting through, anchoring in, or remaining within a limited area on
the navigable waters of Key West, Florida, during a firework display
lasting thirty minutes. It is categorically excluded from further
review under paragraph L60(a) of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction
Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. A Record of Environmental Consideration
supporting this determination is available in the docket. For
instructions on locating the docket, see the ADDRESSES section of this
preamble.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    On August 8, 2011, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) titled Regulated Navigation Area, Zidell Waterfront Property,
Willamette River, OR, in the Federal Register (76 FR 48070). We
received no comments on the proposed rule. There were no requests made
for a public meeting regarding this rule and none were held. No other
documents have been published for this rulemaking.

Basis and Purpose

    The Zidell Waterfront Property is placing an engineered sediment
cap over contaminated sediments adjacent to the west bank of the
Willamette River between approximate river miles 13.5 and 14.2 as part
of an Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) required
remedial action. Geographically this location starts at approximately
the west bank of the Marquam Bridge and continues southerly, along the
west bank of the Willamette River to the North end of Ross Island.
    The engineered sediment cap is designed to be compatible with
normal port operations, but could be damaged by other maritime
activities including anchoring, dragging, dredging, grounding of large
vessels, deployment of barge spuds, etc. Such damage could disrupt the
function or impact the effectiveness of the cap to contain the
underlying contaminated sediment and shoreline soil in these areas. As
such,

this RNA will help ensure the cap is protected and will do so by
prohibiting certain maritime activities that could disturb or damage
it.
    The engineered sediment cap will also reduce the depth of the water
close to the west bank of the Willamette River and, as a result, may
limit some vessels from using that area of the river.

Background

    The location of the engineered sediment cap was previously used for
industrial activities related to shipbuilding and dismantling, scrap
metal operations, wire burning, aluminum smelting, and housing
construction. It was determined that the site soils and sediments
contain contaminants, including metals, petroleum hydrocarbons and
associated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls,
and tributyltin, which present unacceptable levels of risk to human and
ecological receptors. Following extensive analysis, the engineered
sediment cap was deemed appropriate by the Oregon DEQ because the
engineered sediment cap will protect human and ecological receptors
from exposure to contamination, and the establishment of this RNA
prevents activities that could result in an unacceptable threat to
public health and the environment.

Discussion of Comments and Changes

    The Coast Guard received no comments during the comment period such
that no changes have been made to the rule.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.

Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and does not
require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section
6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and Budget has not
reviewed it under that Order. The modification of the existing
anchorage does not have any significant costs.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small entities''
comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations that are
independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields,
and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities: The owners or operators of vessels operating in the area
covered by the RNA. The RNA will not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities, however, because the RNA is
limited in size and will not limit vessels from transiting or using the
waters covered, except for activities that may damage the engineered
sediment cap. If you think that your business, organization, or
governmental jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this
rule would have a significant economic impact on it, please submit a
comment (see ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how
and to what degree this rule would economically affect it.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), in the NPRM we offered to
assist small entities in understanding the rule so that they could
better evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking
process.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

Collection of Information

    This rule calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for
federalism.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action''

under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to have a significant
adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy. The
Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs has
not designated it as a significant energy action. Therefore, it does
not require a Statement of Energy Effects under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA)(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
this action is one of a category of actions that do not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. This
rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph 34 (g) of
the instruction. We seek any comments or information that may lead to
the discovery of a significant environmental impact from this rule.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 165

Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 66, Rm. 5441, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002, 301-
796-8398, or FDA Advisory Committee Information Line, 1-800-741-8138
(301-443-0572 in the Washington, DC area). A notice in the Federal
Register about last minute modifications that impact a previously
announced advisory committee meeting cannot always be published quickly
enough to provide timely notice. Therefore, you should always check the
Agency's Web site at http://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/default.htm
and scroll down to the appropriate advisory committee meeting link, or
call the advisory committee information line to learn about possible
modifications before coming to the meeting.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Agenda: On October 11 and 12, 2017, the committee will discuss and
make recommendations on the topic of patient input into medical device
clinical trials. This meeting will provide the opportunity to bring
patients, patient organization, FDA, industry, and other medical and
scientific experts together for a broader discussion on this important
patient-related issue.
    This meeting is a key part of FDA's goal to help assure the needs
and experiences of patients are included as part of FDA's deliberations
involving the regulation of medical devices and their use by patients.
For this meeting, FDA is seeking input from the PEAC and the public on
topics such as to: (1) Better understand challenges for patients in
medical device clinical trials, (2) better understand how patient input
and engagement is being used to overcome these challenges (potential
solutions), and (3) receive

recommendations from the PEAC on top areas for FDA to consider for
action.
    FDA intends to make background material available to the public no
later than 2 business days before the meeting. If FDA is unable to post
the background material on its Web site prior to the meeting, the
background material will be made publicly available at the location of
the advisory committee meeting, and the background material will be
posted on FDA's Web site after the meeting. Background material is
available at http://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/Calendar/default.htm. Scroll down to the appropriate advisory committee meeting
link.
    Procedure: Interested persons may present data, information, or
views, orally or in writing, on issues pending before the committee.
Written submissions may be made to the contact person on or before
September 20, 2017. Oral presentations from the public will be
scheduled between approximately 3:40 p.m. to 4:10 p.m. on October 11,
2017, and approximately 9 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. on
October 12, 2017. Those individuals interested in making formal oral
presentations should notify the contact person and submit a brief
statement of the general nature of the evidence or arguments they wish
to present, the names and addresses of proposed participants, and an
indication of the approximate time requested to make their presentation
on or before September 12, 2017. Time allotted for each presentation
may be limited. If the number of registrants requesting to speak is
greater than can be reasonably accommodated during the scheduled open
public hearing session, FDA may conduct a lottery to determine the
speakers for the scheduled open public hearing session. The contact
person will notify interested persons regarding their request to speak
by September 13, 2017.
    Persons attending FDA's advisory committee meetings are advised
that the Agency is not responsible for providing access to electrical
outlets.

meetings and will make every effort to accommodate persons with
disabilities. If you require accommodations due to a disability, please

meetings. Please visit our Web site at http://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/AboutAdvisoryCommittees/ucm111462.htm for procedures
on public conduct during advisory committee meetings. Please be advised

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2016-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1542]

Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on proposed flood hazard
determinations, which may include additions or modifications of any
Base Flood Elevation (BFE), base flood depth, Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA) boundary or zone designation, or regulatory floodway on the
Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and where applicable, in the
supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for the communities
listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to seek
general information and comment regarding the preliminary FIRM, and
where applicable, the FIS report that the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) has provided to the affected communities. The FIRM and
FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management measures that the
community is required either to adopt or to show evidence of having in
effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, the FIRM and FIS
report, once effective, will be used by insurance agents and others to
calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings
and the contents of those buildings.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before April 25, 2016.

ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, the FIS report
for each community are available for inspection at both the online
location and the respective Community Map Repository address listed in
the tables below. Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS
report for each community are accessible online through the FEMA Map
Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-1542, to
Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering Management Branch, Federal Insurance
and Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering
Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration,
FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or
(email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA proposes to make flood hazard
determinations 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).
    These proposed flood hazard determinations, together with the
floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum
that are required. 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 flood
hazard determinations are used to meet the floodplain management
requirements of the NFIP and also are used to calculate the appropriate
flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after the FIRM
and FIS report become effective.
    The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are
provided in the tables below. Any request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard information shown on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS
report that satisfies the data requirements outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b)
is considered an appeal. Comments unrelated to the flood hazard
determinations also will be considered before the FIRM and FIS report
become effective.
    Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to
communities in support of the appeal resolution process. SRPs are
independent panels of experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and other
pertinent sciences established to review conflicting scientific and
technical data and provide recommendations for resolution. Use of the
SRP only may be exercised after FEMA and local communities have been
engaged in a collaborative consultation process for at least 60 days
without a mutually acceptable resolution of an appeal. Additional
information regarding the SRP process can be found online at http://floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_fact_sheet.pdf.
    The watersheds and/or communities affected are listed in the tables
below. The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, FIS report for each
community are available for inspection at both the online location and
the respective Community Map Repository address listed in the tables.
For communities with multiple ongoing Preliminary studies, the studies
can be identified by the unique project number and Preliminary FIRM
date listed in the tables. Additionally, the current effective FIRM and
FIS report for each community are accessible online through the FEMA
Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.

sites or sensitive projects. The background checks and application of
the Government's suitability criteria must be completed prior to
contract employee performance. The contractor shall maintain records
associated with all background checks. Background checks cover
citizenship or valid visa status, criminal convictions, weapons
offenses, felony convictions, and parties prohibited from receiving
federal contracts.
