Sec. 621.45  Flood insurance studies.

    As requested by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and 
within the limits of available resources, NRCS carries out flood 
insurance studies of various types under the National Flood Insurance 
Program (Pub. L. 90-448, 82 Statute, 574 (42 U.S.C. 4012)), as amended. 
In this activity, NRCS performs detailed technical studies to determine 
the extent and frequency of flooding. The flood insurance program is 
administered by FEMA. NRCS is reimbursed by that agency for actual costs 
incurred in carrying out the studies. Local entities desiring flood 
insurance coverage should contact the responsible State agency or FEMA 
and apply in accordance with procedures of that agency.
