- (a) The State shall comply with the minimum flood plain management criteria set forth in §§ [60.3](/cfr/44/60.3.md), [60.4](/cfr/44/60.4.md), and [60.5](/cfr/44/60.5.md). A State either shall:
  - (1) Comply with the flood plain management requirements of all local communities participating in the program in which State-owned properties are located; or
  - (2) Establish and enforce flood plain management regulations which, at a minimum, satisfy the criteria set forth in §§ [60.3](/cfr/44/60.3.md), [60.4](/cfr/44/60.4.md), and [60.5](/cfr/44/60.5.md).
- (b) The procedures by which a state government adopts and administers flood plain management regulations satisfying the criteria set forth in §§ [60.3](/cfr/44/60.3.md), [60.4](/cfr/44/60.4.md) and [60.5](/cfr/44/60.5.md) may vary from the procedures by which local governments satisfy the criteria.
- (c) If any State-owned property is located in a non-participating local community, then the State shall comply with the requirements of [paragraph (a)(2)](#a-2) of this section for the property.
