44 CFR Ch. I

[Docket ID FEMA-2023-0026]
RIN 1660-AB12

FEMA Proposed Policy: Federal Flood Risk Management Standard
(FFRMS)

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is accepting
comments on the proposed FEMA policy, Federal Flood Risk Management
Standard (FFRMS). This proposed policy would provide detail, consistent
with applicable regulations, on applicability, processes, resources,
and responsibilities for implementing the FFRMS as part of FEMA's 8-
step decision making process for carrying out the directives of
Executive Order 11988, Floodplain Management, as amended.

DATES: Comments must be received by December 1, 2023.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket ID: FEMA-2023-
0026, via the Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov.
Follow the instructions for submitting comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Portia Ross, Policy and Integration
Division Director, Office of Environmental Planning and Historic
Preservation, Resilience, DHS/FEMA, 400 C St. SW, Suite 313,
Washington, DC 20472-3020. Phone:<PHONE_NUMBER>; Email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA is proposing to issue a policy
complementary to 44 CFR part 9, Floodplain Management and Protection of
Wetlands, which governs FEMA's implementation the Federal Flood Risk
Management Standard (FFRMS). This policy would facilitate
implementation of FFRMS and bolster the resilience of communities and
Federal assets against the impacts of flooding.
    Consistent with a proposed rule that is published elsewhere in this
issue of the Federal Register, this proposed policy would require that
FEMA determine the appropriate vertical flood elevation and
corresponding horizontal FFRMS floodplain for Actions Subject to the
FFRMS using either the Climate Informed Science Approach (CISA), the
Freeboard Value Approach (FVA), or the 0.2 Percent Annual Chance Flood
Approach (0.2PFA). Under the proposed policy, FEMA would determine the
FFRMS flood elevation and corresponding FFRMS floodplain according to
CISA for all locations where CISA is available where the best-
available, actionable hydrologic and hydraulic data and methods that
integrate current and future changes in flooding based on climate
science exist. When using CISA, for non-critical actions the FFRMS
floodplain would be at least as restrictive as the 1% annual chance
(AC) flood elevation and corresponding horizontal floodplain, and for
critical actions the FFRMS floodplain would be at least as restrictive
as the 0.2% AC flood elevation and corresponding horizontal floodplain.
For locations where CISA is not available and actionable, FEMA would
determine the FFRMS elevation and FFRMS floodplain for non-critical
actions by using the area that would be inundated by the lower of the
0.2% AC flood or +2-foot FVA. For critical actions, FEMA would
determine the FFRMS elevation and FFRMS floodplain using the area that
would be inundated by the higher of the 0.2% AC flood or +3-foot FVA.
(For locations where information about the elevation and/or extent of
the 0.2% AC floodplain is not available, the FFRMS floodplain would be
the +3-foot FVA for critical actions and +2-foot FVA for non-critical
actions).
    This policy would also outline FEMA's process to identify actions
that may receive substantial damage or substantial improvement
determinations, require consideration of natural features and nature-
based approaches as alternatives to a proposed action, explain
requirements to minimize flood risk, and encourage early coordination
when multiple Federal agencies are jointly engaged in an action to
ensure a consistent approach to determine which floodplain
determination is applied.
    Authority: Executive Order 11988, Floodplain Management, as amended
and implementing regulations of 44 CFR part 9, among other authorities
listed in the proposed policy.

Administrator, Federal Emergency Management Agency.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-61170; File No. SR-OCC-2009-19]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The Options Clearing Corporation;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change
Relating to Treasury Futures Traded by ELX Futures LP

December 15, 2009.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ notice is hereby given that on November 20, 2009, The
Options Clearing Corporation (``OCC'') filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (``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)(iii) of the Act \2\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(4) \3\
thereunder so that the proposal was effective upon filing with the
Commission. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

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

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

    The proposed rule change would revise OCC's By-Laws and Rules to
accommodate a proposed alternate settlement procedure for physically-
settled Treasury Futures traded by ELX Futures L.P., an electronic
futures market that is designated as a contract market by the Commodity
Futures Trading Commission (``CFTC'').

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. OCC 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 parts of these statements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The purpose of this proposed rule change is to revise OCC's By-Laws
and Rules to accommodate a proposed alternate settlement procedure for
physically-settled Treasury Futures traded by ELX Futures L.P., an
electronic futures market that is designated as a contract market by
the CFTC. Under the proposed alternate settlement procedure, Clearing
Members that have been matched for delivery purposes would be allowed
to agree between themselves on alternate procedures for completing
settlement. Among other changes, OCC is proposing amendments to Chapter
13 of its Rules to specify the manner in which Clearing Members can
elect to use such alternate settlement procedures for physically-
settled Treasury Futures and to provide for the Clearing Members'
indemnification of OCC against any losses resulting from the Clearing
Members' use of the alternate settlement procedures. OCC is also
proposing to amend its margin rules to provide that once OCC accepts
notification from the Clearing Members of the use of alternate
settlement procedures for physically-settled Treasury Futures pursuant
to proposed Rule 1302B(k), the contracts to be settled under the
alternate procedures would no longer be included in the margin
calculations for the relevant accounts of these Clearing Members.
    The proposed changes to OCC's By-Laws and Rules are consistent with
the purposes and requirements of Section 17A of the Act of 1934 because
they are designed to promote the prompt and accurate clearance and
settlement of transactions in options and other derivatives cleared by
OCC, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a national
system for the prompt and accurate clearance and settlement of such
transactions, and, in general, to protect investors and the public
interest. They accomplish this purpose by providing Clearing Members
with an alternate method by which to fulfill their settlement
obligations for Treasury Futures. The proposed rule change is not
inconsistent with any rules of OCC, including any rules proposed to be
amended.

(B) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    OCC does not believe that the proposed rule change would impose any
burden on competition.

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

    Written comments were not and are not intended to be solicited with
respect to the proposed rule change, and none have been received.

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)(iii) of the Act \5\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(4) \6\ promulgated
thereunder because the proposal changes effects a change in an existing
service of a registered clearing agency that (i) does not adversely
affect the safeguarding of securities or funds in the custody or
control of the clearing agency or for which it is responsible and (ii)
does not significantly affect the respective rights or obligations of
the clearing agency or persons using the service. At any time within
sixty days of the filing of the 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.
