# §60.11. Purpose of this subpart.

- (a) A State is considered a “community” pursuant to [§ 59.1](/cfr/44/59.1.md) 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 Federal Insurance Administrator.
- (b) This subpart sets forth the flood plain management criteria required for State-owned properties located within special hazard areas identified by the Federal Insurance 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 Federal Insurance Administrator, pursuant to [part 75](/cfr/44/part75.md) of this subchapter, of its plan of self-insurance.
