             CHAPTER I--FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
 
PART 64--COMMUNITIES ELIGIBLE FOR THE SALE OF INSURANCE--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 64.1  Purpose of part.

    (a) 42 U.S.C. 4012(c), 4022 and 4102 require that flood insurance in 
the maximum limits of coverage under the regular program shall be 
offered in communities only after the Administrator has: (1) Identified 
the areas of special flood, mudslide (i.e., mudflow) or flood-related 
erosion hazards within the community; and/or (2) completed a risk study 
for the applicant community. The priorities for conducting such risk 
studies are set forth in Secs. 59.23 and 60.25 of this subchapter. The 
purpose of this part is to define the types of zones which the Agency 
will use for identifying the hazard areas on maps.
    (b) 42 U.S.C. 4056 authorizes an emergency implementation of the 
National Flood Insurance Program whereby the Administrator may make 
subsidized coverage available to eligible communities prior to the 
completion of detailed risk studies for such areas. This part also 
describes procedures under the emergency program and lists communities 
which become eligible under the NFIP.
