Each supervised lending institution is
required to provide a notice of special flood hazards to a borrower
acquiring a loan secured by a building on real property located in
an area identified by FEMA as subject to special flood hazards, and
various other notices to borrowers, servicers and FEMA.. The Riegle
Community Development Act requires that each institution also
provide a copy of the notice to the servicer of the loan (if
different from the originating lender). Section 100239 of the
Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 requires each
federal banking agency (including the FDIC), and the Farm Credit
Administration, to adopt implementing regulations to direct
regulated lending institutions to accept “private flood insurance,”
as defined by the Biggert-Waters Act. A lending institution would
be required to implement policies and procedures to comply with the
Biggert-Waters Act provision and verify in writing that a private
insurance policy satisfies the criteria included in the definition
or document findings that separate required criteria have been met
when accepting a private flood insurance policy in satisfaction of
the mandatory flood insurance purchase requirement of the Flood
Disaster Protection Act. The institution must also maintain records
to permit examination staff to ascertain how the institution has
met the requirements of the regulation.
