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 
a condition to the purchase of a Standard Flood Insurance Policy for a 
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.
