projects for funding under the supplemental grant program. All funded 
projects must be consistent with the State Hazard Mitigation Plan. The 
mitigation planning process or any other appropriate means may identify 
buyout and elevation projects.
    (b) States will set priorities in their State mitigation plan to use 
as the basis for selecting projects for funding. The State's priorities 
will address, at a minimum, substantially damaged properties, repetitive 
loss target properties, and such other criteria that the State deems 
necessary to comply with the law. States and subgrantees are to give 
priority consideration to projects for acquisition or elevations of 
repetitive loss properties, and must include all eligible repetitive 
loss properties in the projects submitted to us for funding.
