PART 209--SUPPLEMENTAL PROPERTY ACQUISITION AND ELEVATION ASSISTANCE--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 209.7  Priorities for project selection.

    (a) It is the State's responsibility to identify and select eligible 
buyout projects for funding under the supplemental grant program. All 
funded projects must be consistent with the State Hazard Mitigation 
Plan. The mitigation planning process or any other appropriate means may 
identify buyout and elevation projects.
    (b) States will set priorities in their State mitigation plan to use 
as the basis for selecting projects for funding. The State's priorities 
will address, at a minimum, substantially damaged properties, repetitive 
loss target properties, and such other criteria that the State deems 
necessary to comply with the law. States and subgrantees are to give 
priority consideration to projects for acquisition or elevations of 
repetitive loss properties, and must include all eligible repetitive 
loss properties in the projects submitted to us for funding.
