[Docket ID FEMA-2012-0003; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1257]

Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice lists communities where the addition or
modification of Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths,
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 Title
44, Part 65 of the Code of Federal Regulations (44 CFR Part 65). The
LOMR will be used by insurance agents and others to calculate
appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and the
contents of those buildings. For rating purposes, 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 become effective 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 ninety (90)
days in which to request through the community that the Deputy
Associate Administrator for 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 www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    Submit comments and/or appeals to the Chief Executive Officer of
the community as listed in the table below.

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: The specific flood hazard determinations are
not described for each community in this notice. However, the online
location and local community map repository address where the flood
hazard determination information is available for inspection is
provided.
    Any request for reconsideration of flood hazard determinations must
be submitted to the Chief Executive Officer of the community as listed
in the table below.
    The modifications are made pursuant to section 201 of the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are in accordance
with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.,
and with 44 CFR part 65.
    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).
    These 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. The flood hazard
determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    The affected communities are listed in the following table. Flood
hazard determination 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 www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.

RIN 2120-AA66

Proposed Revocation of VOR Federal Airway V-284; New Jersey

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM); withdrawal.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is withdrawing the Notice of proposed rulemaking
published in the Federal Register on September 3, 2010, to remove VHF
omnidirectional range (VOR) Federal airway V-284, which extends between
Sea Isle, NJ and Cedar Lake, NJ. Upon further consideration, the FAA
has determined that an operational requirement for the airway still
exists; therefore, withdrawal of the proposed rule is warranted.

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, March 8, 2011. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and
publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On September 3, 2010, the FAA published in the Federal Register an
NPRM proposing to amend Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by removing VOR Federal Airway V-284 (75 FR 54058), Docket No.
FAA-2010-0813. Interested parties were invited to participate in this
rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal. Four
comments were received.

Discussion of Comments

    The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association and three individuals
submitted comments on the proposal. All commenters opposed the removal
of V-284. The commenters stated that revocation of V-284 would reduce
efficiency of operations for non-Global Positioning System equipped
aircraft transiting the Delaware-New Jersey-New York City-Philadelphia
areas. For such aircraft, the VOR Federal airway system remains the
primary means of navigation for Instrument Flight Rules operations. The
commenters also indicated that the elimination of this convenient and
viable route could require pilots to deviate from their desired course,
adding flight time and expense to their operations.

FAA's Conclusions

    Upon further consideration, we have determined that the removal of
V-284 is not warranted at this time. Therefore, the NPRM is withdrawn.

                 Summary of Region 2 Public Listening Session
                          on 111(d) for Power Plants

                       October 23, 2013  -  New York, NY
On October 23, 2013, EPA Region 2 held a public listening session to obtain public input on how EPA can craft carbon pollution standards from existing power plants.  Approximately 178 people attended the meeting, and of those attendees, 91 people spoke.  A vast majority of speakers supported EPA efforts.  They voiced support on current EPA efforts to reduce criteria pollutants, the proposed carbon standards for new power plants, and the upcoming guidelines for existing plants.  Many of the speakers thanked EPA for allowing them to speak during the listening sessions.
A high-level summary of the meeting is provided below.
Overview:
EPA Region 2 Regional Administrator Judith Enck provided opening remarks for both listening sessions.  John Filippelli, Director of the Clean Air and Sustainability Division in Region 2, also provided remarks and moderated.
The audience was made up of representatives from industry, unions, citizens, academics, scientists, environmental support groups, attorneys, students, and press.  Some of the organizations that were present included: Natural Resources Defense Council, American Petroleum Institute, Sierra Club, New York Public Interest Research Group, Environment NY, the Adirondack Council, West Harlem Environmental Action, Utility Workers Union, and National Rural Electric Cooperative Association.  Jared Snyder, Assistant Commissioner of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), attended and spoke at the morning session.  While a majority of speakers pre-registered to speak during the listening sessions, there were a handful of speakers who only planned to listen in but were inspired by others to also speak.  Written statements were received along with books, pamphlets, drawings, and CD's.  A majority of the written statements received were copies of the speakers' notes.
Support for Carbon Pollution Control for Power Plants
Speakers overwhelmingly supported carbon pollution controls for power plants.  There was support voiced for a national control strategy for power plants, while a smaller number believed that control strategies should be implemented regionally, by state, or internationally.  Several speakers also wanted strong verification and compliance guidelines to be included with control strategies.  Carbon capture and storage was mentioned by a few of the speakers as a means for controlling emissions.
A number of speakers asked EPA to considerer the cumulative impact of power plant emissions and not just focus on GHGs when setting guidelines.  The other impacts that speakers discussed included emissions of other pollutants and energy and water use.
There were only a few speakers who discussed emissions limits or goals.  One speaker supported output based standards and one speaker supported a mass based standard.  A few speakers wanted carbon emissions goals to be at levels that would meet the IPCC's most stringent stabilization scenarios which required CO2 emissions to decline to less than 50% of today's emissions by 2050.
Criticism of EPA Efforts
There were a few speakers that did not support carbon pollution control for existing power plants.  Those individuals believed that EPA did not have the authority to regulate carbon pollution from power plants and that reductions from power plants would not help to mitigate climate change issues.  At least one speaker specifically stated that section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act was not an authorized approach for regulating greenhouse gases from power plants.  Several speakers thought EPA's efforts were not stringent enough or taking place quick enough.
Carbon pollution controls for other sources
Some speakers who supported carbon pollution control for power plants also emphasized that there are other emission sources they would like to see controlled.  Other sources that were discussed include emissions from biomass energy and the transportation sector.
Support for the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) as a compliance mechanism for 111(d) plans
RGGI is a market-based regulatory program which northeastern states participate in to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. RGGI was the most often discussed mechanism for complying with carbon pollution 111(d) plans.  NYSDEC spoke about its participation and other speakers expressed its support for EPA guidelines that were based on RGGI.  NYSDEC had a few points to share about its experience and observations in being involved with RGGI.
   * Emissions reductions in the power sector are best accomplished through energy efficiency/renewable energy and more efficient power plants
   * RGGI states demonstrated the feasibility of reducing emissions 50% in the power sector while continuing to have economic growth;
   * A cap and trade system is a robust system to monitor compliance.  Emissions rate requirements should be translated to a mass based standard;
   * Compliance should not be based on state boundaries, but rather based on geographies followed by the grid to recognize generation by more efficient plants;
   * States who have accomplished reductions under RGGI should be treated in an equitable way in any new program.
RGGI was touted as a successful carbon pollution mechanism that should be used as an example for the rest of the country.
Do not penalize early emissions reductions
Several speakers noted that the northeastern US (RGGI participating states) has already been regulating carbon emissions and that their efforts should be accounted for.  Guidelines for 111(d) plans should take this into account so that a disproportionate burden (economic) would not be placed on these early adopters when there are areas of the country that have not previously adopted carbon pollution emissions reduction measures.
Consideration of regional compliance instead of by state
One notable suggestion by speakers was to consider how the electric grid is constructed geographically instead of determining compliance using state boundaries.  This could provide a more meaningful and effective way to reduce carbon pollution since it would more accurately reflect how the electrical grid operates and recognize already efficient power plants.
Timing
A number of speakers who supported EPA efforts also voiced that they wanted EPA to act as quickly as possible.
Superstorm Sandy
The majority of those in attendance were from the NYC metro area which continues to recover from the impacts of Superstorm Sandy.  A large number of speakers discussed their experiences during the Superstorm and the long recovery period in which many were without electricity and fuel.  There were discussions of lack of heat and loss of ability to perform essential tasks such as living in tall buildings in which elevators had no power.  The lack of elevators posed issues with those whose mobility is impaired and had difficulty performing tasks such as bringing food up several flights of stairs.  Speakers who discussed Superstorm Sandy stressed that regulation of GHG's was needed so that they would not be impacted by climate change related storms in the future.
Health Concerns
There were a number of speakers who discussed their concerns with health effects related to air pollution.  Though not necessarily focusing on GHGs, the speakers talked about the respiratory health of family, friends, and themselves.  Speakers noted that they felt that they knew too many people with asthma and that those with asthma cited increased medicine use.  Speakers called for reductions in emissions from the power sector.
Natural Gas
There were two sides to the discussions involving natural gas.  There were many proponents of moving away from coal for power and toward cleaner fuels (such as natural gas).  Some speakers recognized natural gas as a bridge fuel to a lower/zero emissions future.
There was also a set of speakers who spoke out against natural gas and hydrofracking.  There were concerns regarding the safety and environmental effects of extracting natural gas.  Other speakers did not believe that switching to natural gas as a energy source would help reduce GHG emission to levels prescribed by studies (such as the IPCC and WHO) because GHGs would still be emitted when combusted.
Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy
Most of the speakers at the listening sessions supported increasing the generation and use of renewable energy.  Several speakers believed that moving to renewable energy would be economically beneficial by creating new jobs.  Renewable energy was also the preferred source of power for many speakers who stated that they wanted the country to move completely away from using fossil fuels.
Generally if a speaker discussed renewable energy, they also wanted increases in energy efficiency for multiple sectors.  The three most mentioned sectors were power plants, existing buildings, and new buildings.  Some speakers wanted more energy efficient building codes for new buildings.
Economic impacts
A few speakers discussed the economic ramifications of carbon pollution guidelines.  Some spoke of positive impacts gained from new technology and industry.  Others spoke of the costs avoided (such as repair costs associated with Superstorm Sandy) as positive economic impacts from regulating carbon pollution from power plants.  There was also a representative from a coalition of small businesses who spoke of the positive economic impacts.
The representative from the American Petroleum Institute believed that there would be negative economic consequences from regulations and that EPA lacked the authority to regulate power plants.  A representative from Utility Workers Union of America spoke about how regulating existing power plants were going to harm workers at coal fired plants by causing job losses.  The representative asked for support in retraining of workers who would be negatively impacted.  It was suggested that funding for retraining workers be factored into regulations (such as an additional fee or tax).
Some speakers acknowledged the possibility that there may be increased costs associated with limiting carbon pollution from existing sources but dismissed costs as a valid reason for not regulating power plants.  They reasoned that the cost of compliance is insignificant when compared to the far more significant costs associated with climate related weather events, and that there could not be a price put on clean air.  A small number of speakers cited that the industry still profited and existed after other control measures were put into place for other pollutants so that there is no reason that the industry could not adapt to regulating carbon pollution.
Underrepresented Populations
A small set of speakers emphasized that carbon pollution guidelines and initiatives should take into account environmental justice communities.  These communities may bear a disproportionate amount of burden.  In the case of carbon pollution and climate change, without limits to power plant emissions these communities may be the worst impacted by events such as Superstorm Sandy.
Consider electrical cooperatives
A representative from the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association emphasized that EPA needed to account for electrical cooperatives as guidelines are crafted.  They may be involved in future emissions reduction programs but are smaller and have different issues than larger corporate run entities such as only owning a limited percentage of generating capacity at a power plant.
