PART 63--IMPLEMENTATION OF SECTION 1306(c) OF THE NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE 
ACT OF 1968--Table of Contents
 
                           Subpart A--General
 
Sec. 63.1  Purpose of part.


    The purpose of this part is to implement section 1306(c) of the 
National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended (the Act). Section 544 
of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987 (Pub. L. 100-242) 
amended the Act by adding subsection (c) to section 1306 of the Act. 
Under this amendment, effective February 5, 1988, section 1306(c) of the 
Act provides for benefit payments under the Standard Flood Insurance 
Policy (SFIP) for demolition or relocation of a structure insured under 
the Act that is located along the shore of a lake or other body of water 
and that is certified by an appropriate State or local land use 
authority to be subject to imminent collapse or subsidence as a result 
of erosion or undermining caused by waves or currents of water exceeding 
anticipated cyclical levels. This part establishes criteria by which 
States can obtain the approval of the Administrator to make these 
certifications and sets forth the procedures and data requirements to be 
used by those States in making these certifications. This part also 
contains provisions regarding other aspects of section 1306(c) of the 
Act. For example, there are provisions regarding section 1306(c)(6)(B) 
of the Act (which provides for condemnation in lieu of certification), 
including clarification as to the form of condemnation issued under a 
State or local law that is required.
