SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites
the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity
to comment on a proposed revised information collection. In accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this notice seeks comments
concerning a State exemption from the requirement to purchase flood
insurance with respect to State-owned structures.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 102(c) of the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973 (the Act) enables the Federal Insurance
Administration (FIA) to grant a State having an adequate plan of self-
insurance for its State-owned buildings an exemption from the insurance
purchase requirements of the Act. In 44 CFR part 75 standards are
established with respect to the Federal Insurance Administrator's
determinations that a State's plan of self-insurance is adequate and
satisfactory from the requirement of purchasing flood insurance
coverage for State-owned structures and their contents in areas
identified by FEMA.

Insurance Administration by the Governor or other duly authorized
