SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 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 State-owned 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. Collection of Information *Title:*
                     Exemption of State-Owned Properties Under Self-Insurance. *Type of Information Collection:*
                     Extension, without change, of a currently approved information collection. *OMB Number:*
                     1660-0013. *Form Titles and Numbers:*
                     No Forms. *Abstract:*
                     States can request an exemption to the requirement of purchasing flood insurance on State-owned properties through the submission of sufficient supporting documentation certifying that the plan of self-insurance upon which the application for exemption is based meets or exceed the standards of coverage required for flood and flood-related hazards. *Affected Public:*
                     State, local or Tribal Government. *Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours:*
