    (a) 42 U.S.C. 4012(c), 4022 and 4102 require that flood insurance in 

the maximum limits of coverage under the regular program shall be 

offered in communities only after the Administrator has: (1) Identified 

the areas of special flood, mudslide (i.e., mudflow) or flood-related 

erosion hazards within the community; and/or (2) completed a risk study 

for the applicant community. The priorities for conducting such risk 

studies are set forth in Sec.  Sec.  59.23 and 60.25 of this subchapter. 

The purpose of this part is to define the types of zones which the 

Agency will use for identifying the hazard areas on maps.

    (b) 42 U.S.C. 4056 authorizes an emergency implementation of the 

National Flood Insurance Program whereby the Administrator may make 

subsidized coverage available to eligible communities prior to the 

completion of detailed risk studies for such areas. This part also 

describes procedures under the emergency program and lists communities 

which become eligible under the NFIP.
