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.



[[Page 542]]



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.
