The BFEs and modified BFEs are made final in the communities listed below. Elevations at selected locations in each community are shown.
*National Environmental Policy Act.* This final rule is categorically excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10, Environmental Consideration. An environmental impact assessment has not been prepared.
