## Text

(a) Based on the analyses developed by the RFPG under §§361.33
 - 361.35 of this title and any additional analyses or information
 developed using available screening-level models or methods, the RFPG
 shall identify locations within the FPR that the RFPG considers to
 have the greatest flood mitigation and flood risk study needs by considering:
(1) the areas in the FPR that the RFPG identified as
 the most prone to flooding that threatens life and property;
(2) the relative locations, extent, and performance
 of current floodplain management and land use policies and infrastructure
 located within the FPR, particularly within the locations described
 in paragraph (1) of this subsection;
(3) areas identified by the RFPG as prone to flooding
 that don't have adequate inundation maps;
(4) areas identified by the RFPG as prone to flooding
 that don't have hydrologic and hydraulic models;
(5) areas with an emergency need;
(6) existing modeling analyses and flood risk mitigation
 plans within the FPR;
(7) flood mitigation projects already identified and
 evaluated by other flood mitigation plans and studies;
(8) documentation of historic flooding events;
(9) flood mitigation projects already being implemented;
 and
(10) any other factors that the RFPG deems relevant
 to identifying the geographic locations where potential FMEs and potentially
 feasible FMPs and FMSs shall be identified and evaluated under §361.38
 of this title (relating to Identification and Assessment of Potential
 Flood Management Evaluations and Potentially Feasible Flood Management
 Strategies and Flood Mitigation Projects).
(b) The RFPG shall conduct the analysis in subsection
 (a) of this section in a manner that will ensure the most effective
 and efficient use of the resources available to the RFPG.
