SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (Act), as
amended, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.,
recognized that a reasonable method of
sharing the nation’s risk of flooding at
the national level was required. The Act
established a requirement to purchase
flood insurance for properties at risk
from a flood. It also further provided an
exception to this requirement for Stateowned properties that are covered under
an adequate State policy of self-

insurance. When States provide proof of
this self-insurance, the designated
property is not required to be covered
by flood insurance. Title 44 CFR part 75
establishes the procedures by which a
State may request exemption and also
establishes standards with respect to the
Administrator’s determinations that a
State’s plan of self-insurance is adequate
and satisfactory for the purpose of
exempting the State from the
requirement of purchasing flood
insurance coverage, for State-owned
structures and their contents. This
applies to areas identified by the
Administrator as A, AO, AH, A1–30,
AE, AR, AR/A1–30, AR/AE, AR/AO,
AR/AH, AR/A, A99, M, V, VO, V1–30,
VE, and E zones, in which the sale of
insurance has been made available.

Properties under Self-Insurance Plan.
