DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 67

[Docket No. FEMA-B-7799]

Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on the proposed Base (1 percent annual-
chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) and proposed BFE modifications for the
communities listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to
seek general information and comment regarding the proposed regulatory
flood elevations for the reach described by the downstream and upstream
locations in the table below. The BFEs and modified BFEs are a part of
the floodplain management measures that the community is required
either to adopt or show evidence of having in effect in order to
qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, these elevations, once
finalized, will be used by insurance agents, and others to calculate
appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and the
contents in those buildings.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before November 10, 2008.

ADDRESSES: The corresponding preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map
(FIRM) for the proposed BFEs for each community are available for
inspection at the community's map repository. The respective addresses
are listed in the table below.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-7799, to
William R. Blanton, Jr., Chief, Engineering Management Branch,
Mitigation Directorate, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (e-mail)

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William R. Blanton, Jr., Chief,
Engineering Management Branch, Mitigation Directorate, Federal
Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472,
(202) 646-3151 or (e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) proposes to make determinations of BFEs and modified BFEs 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 BFEs and modified BFEs, 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 proposed
elevations are used to meet the floodplain management requirements of
the NFIP and are also used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance
premium rates for new buildings built after these elevations are made
final, and for the contents in these buildings.
    Comments on any aspect of the Flood Insurance Study and FIRM, other
than the proposed BFEs, will be considered. A letter acknowledging
receipt of any comments will not be sent.
    Administrative Procedure Act Statement. This matter is not a
rulemaking governed by the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C.
553. FEMA publishes flood elevation determinations for notice and
comment; however, they are governed by the Flood Disaster Protection
Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and the National Flood Insurance Act of
1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq., and do not fall under the APA.
    National Environmental Policy Act. This proposed rule is
categorically excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10,
Environmental Consideration. An environmental impact assessment has not
been prepared.
    Regulatory Flexibility Act. As flood elevation determinations are
not within the scope of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601-
612, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required.
    Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review. This
proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under the criteria
of section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as amended.
    Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This proposed rule involves no
policies that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132.
    Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This proposed rule
meets the applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

[Docket No. FMCSA-2021-0143]

Agency Information Collection Request Concerning Certain Motor
Carrier Activities When Responding to Emergency Declarations Under OMB
Review

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Department
of Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of request for emergency OMB approval.

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

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995,
this notice announces that the new Information Collection Request (ICR)
discussed below has been forwarded to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for review and an emergency approval of a new information
collection. FMCSA would collect this information from motor carriers
engaged in providing direct assistance in response to certain emergency
declarations issued by the Agency to provide regulatory relief for such
carriers in continued support of the Nation's coronavirus disease 2019
(COVID-19) recovery efforts. The ICR describes the nature of the
information collection and their expected paperwork burdens. FMCSA
requests that OMB approve this collection within 7 days.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before August 30, 2021.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent by August 30, 2021, to
www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. All comments received are part of
the public record. Comments will generally be posted without change.
Upon receiving the requested 6-month emergency approval by OMB, FMCSA
will follow the normal PRA procedures to obtain extended approval for
this proposed information collection.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Larry W. Minor, Associate
Administrator, Office of Policy, Department of Transportation, Federal
Motor Carrier Safety Administration, 6th Floor, West Building, 1200 New
Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590-0001;<PHONE_NUMBER>;
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Office hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday
through Friday, except Federal Holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Acknowledgement of use of COVID-19 Emergency Declaration
Relief.
    OMB Control Number: 2126-TBD.
    Type of Request: Request for emergency approval of an information
collection.
    Respondents: Motor carriers that operate under the terms of the
extended COVID-19 Emergency Declaration No. 2020-002.
    Estimated Total Respondents: 203,894.
    Estimated Total Responses: 1,223,364 for 6 months.
    Estimated Burden Hours: 305,841 for 6 months.
    Estimated Burden per Response: 15 minutes per response.
    Frequency: Monthly for 6 months.

Background

    FMCSA issued Emergency Declaration No. 2020-002 in response to the
March 13, 2020, declaration of a national emergency under 42 U.S.C.
5191(b) related to COVID-19, and the immediate risk COVID-19 presents
to public health and welfare. FMCSA modified Emergency Declaration
2020-002 to expand and remove categories of supplies, equipment, and
persons covered by the Emergency Declaration to respond to changing
needs for emergency relief. On May 26, 2021, FMCSA extended the
modified Emergency Declaration No. 2020-002 and associated regulatory
relief through August 31, 2021, in accordance with 49 CFR 390.25. FMCSA
continued the exemption and associated regulatory relief in accordance
with 49 CFR 390.25, because the presidentially declared emergency
remained in place and because a continued exemption was needed to
support direct emergency assistance for some supply chains. This
extension of the expanded modified Emergency Declaration addresses
conditions that create a need for immediate transportation of essential
supplies and provides necessary relief from the Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) for motor carriers and drivers.
    In accordance with the expanded modified Emergency Declaration No.
2020-002, motor carriers and drivers providing direct assistance in
support of relief efforts related to the COVID-19 public health
emergency are granted emergency relief from certain portions of 49 CFR
parts 390 through 399 of the FMCSRs, except as restricted in the
Emergency Declaration. Direct assistance means transportation and other
relief services provided by a motor carrier or its driver(s) incident
to the immediate restoration of essential services (such as medical
care) or essential supplies related to COVID-19 during the emergency.
The notice extending the declaration provides a list of relief services
and essential supplies.
    Neither the Emergency Declaration nor the regulations covering
Emergency Declarations (found in 49 CFR 390.23 and 390.25) require that
motor carriers or drivers operating under the Emergency Declaration
report their operation to FMCSA. As a result, FMCSA does not know how
many motor carriers or drivers are relying on the Emergency
Declaration. Given the unprecedented period that the expanded modified
Emergency Declaration No. 2020-0022 has now been in place, FMCSA has
determined that it is necessary to seek information on the number of
motor carriers and drivers relying upon Emergency Declaration No. 2020-
002, and any subsequent extension currently in effect, to evaluate the
need for future

extensions or modifications if that Agency determines that additional
extensions are needed.

Public Comments Invited

    You are asked to comment on any aspect of this information
collection, including: (1) Whether the proposed collection is necessary
for FMCSA to perform its functions; (2) the accuracy of the estimated
burden; (3) ways for FMCSA to enhance the quality, usefulness, and
clarity of the collected information; and (4) ways that the burden
could be minimized without reducing the quality of the collected
information.
    Issued under the authority delegated in 49 CFR 1.87.
