SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: State-Owned properties covered under an

required to purchase flood insurance in accordance with Section 
102(c)(1) of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (42 U.S.C. 
4012a(c)(1)). NFIP regulations, 44 CFR part 75, establish the standards 
which a State's insurance plan must meet to be found exempt from the 
requirement to purchase flood insurance coverage for State-owned 
structures and their contents. To be eligible for the exemption, State 
properties must be located in areas identified by the Administrator as

made available.
    This proposed information collection previously published in the

comment period. FEMA received one comment. The commenter advocated for 
the extension of the State self-insurance exemption to all entities, 
including small business. FEMA appreciates this comment but is unable 
to extend the exemption because it is statutorily prescribed. This 
information collection expired on September 30, 2017. FEMA is 
requesting a reinstatement, without change, of a previously approved 
information collection for which approval has expired. The purpose of 
this notice is to notify the public that FEMA will submit the 
information collection abstracted below to the Office of Management and 
Budget for review and clearance.
