hazards are delineated in which to meet the requirements of 
Sec. 60.4(b).
    (c) A flood-related erosion-prone community applying for flood 
insurance eligibility shall meet the standards of Sec. 60.5(a) to become

hazards are delineated in which to meet the requirements of

    (d) Communities identified in part 65 of this subchapter as 
containing more than one type of hazard (e.g., any combination of

hazard areas) shall adopt flood plain management regulations for each 
type of hazard consistent with the requirements of Secs. 60.3, 60.4 and 
60.5.
    (e) Local flood plain management regulations may be submitted to the 
State Coordinating Agency designated pursuant to Sec. 60.25 for its 
advice and concurrence. The submission to the State shall clearly 
describe proposed enforcement procedures.
    (f) The community official responsible for submitting annual or 
biennial reports to the Administrator pursuant to Sec. 59.22(b)(2) of 
this subchapter shall also submit copies of each annual or biennial 
report to any State Coordinating Agency.
    (g) A community shall assure that its comprehensive plan is 
consistent with the flood plain management objectives of this part.
    (h) The community shall adopt and enforce flood plain management 
regulations based on data provided by the Administrator. Without prior
