    (a) Except as otherwise provided in this part, the definitions set 
forth in part 59 of this subchapter are applicable to this part.
    (b) For the purpose of this part, a certification by a registered 
professional engineer or other party does not constitute a warranty or 
guarantee of performance, expressed or implied. Certification of data is 
a statement that the data is accurate to the best of the certifier's 
knowledge. Certification of analyses is a statement that the analyses 
have been performed correctly and in accordance with sound engineering 
practices. Certification of structural works is a statement that the 
works are designed in accordance with sound engineering practices to 
provide protection from the base flood. Certification of ``as built'' 
conditions is a statement that the structure(s) has been built according 
to the plans being certified, is in place, and is fully functioning.
    (c) For the purposes of this part, ``reasonably safe from flooding'' 
means base flood waters will not inundate the land or damage structures 
to be removed from the SFHA and that any subsurface waters related to 
the base flood will not damage existing or proposed buildings.
