                                SECURITY
 
PART 63--IMPLEMENTATION OF SECTION 1306(c) OF THE NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE

                           Subpart A--General
 
Sec. 63.2  Condemnation in lieu of certification.

    (a) The condemnation required by section 1306(c)(6)(B) of the Act in 
lieu of certification need not be grounded in a finding that the 
structure is subject to imminent collapse or subsidence as a result of 
erosion, but may be issued for other reasons deemed sufficient by the 
State or local authority.
    (b) The condemnation may be in the form of a court order or other 
instrument authorized by State or local law, e.g., a notification to the 
property owner of an unsafe condition, or unsanitary condition, or other 
deficiency at the property address, coupled with a statement that the 
property owner must vacate the property if the condition giving rise to 
the condemnation notice is not cured by repair, removal, or demolition 
of the building by a date certain.
    (c) In addition to a condemnation in accordance with paragraphs (a) 
and (b) of this section, a structure must be found by the Administrator 
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 to be eligible for benefits under section 
1306(c) of the Act.
