Sec. 60.11  Purpose of this subpart.





    (a) A State is considered a ``community'' pursuant to Sec. 59.1 of 

this subchapter; and, accordingly, the Act provides that flood insurance 

shall not be sold or renewed under the Program unless a community has 

adopted adequate flood plain management regulations consistent with 

criteria established by the Administrator.

    (b) This subpart sets forth the flood plain management criteria 

required for State-owned properties located within special hazard areas 

identified by the Administrator. A State shall satisfy such criteria as

State-owned structure or its contents, or as a condition to the approval 

by the Administrator, pursuant to part 75 of this subchapter, of its 

plan of self-insurance.
