Sec. 209.7  Priorities for project selection.



    (a) It is the State's responsibility to identify and select eligible 

buyout 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.
