                 TITLE 42--THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE
 
                  CHAPTER 50--NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE
 
  SUBCHAPTER III--COORDINATION OF FLOOD INSURANCE WITH LAND-MANAGEMENT 
                      PROGRAMS IN FLOOD-PRONE AREAS
 
Sec. 4107. Consultation with local officials; scope

    In carrying out his responsibilities under the provisions of this 
title \1\ and the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 [42 U.S.C. 4001 
et seq.] which relate to notification to and identification of flood-
prone areas and the application of criteria for land management and use, 
including criteria derived from data reflecting new developments that 
may indicate the desirability of modifying elevations based on previous 
flood studies, the Director shall establish procedures assuring adequate 
consultation with the appropriate elected officials of general purpose 
local governments, including but not limited to those local governments 
whose prior eligibility under the program has been suspended. Such 
consultation shall include, but not be limited to, fully informing local 
officials at the commencement of any flood elevation study or 
investigation undertaken by any agency on behalf of the Director 
concerning the nature and purpose of the study, the areas involved, the 
manner in which the study is to be undertaken, the general principles to 
be applied, and the use to be made of the data obtained. The Director 
shall encourage local officials to disseminate information concerning 
such study widely within the community, so that interested persons will 
have an opportunity to bring all relevant facts and technical data 
concerning the local flood hazard to the attention of the agency during 
the course of the study.
