## Text

Considering the Guidance Principles under §362.3 of this
 title (related to Guidance Principles), the existing condition flood
 risk analyses performed under §361.33 of this title (relating
 to Existing Condition Flood Risk Analyses in the Region), future condition
 flood risk analyses identified under §361.34 of this title (relating
 to Future Condition Flood Risk Analyses in the Region), the consideration
 of current floodplain management and land use approaches under §361.35
 of this title (relating to Evaluation of Previous and Current Floodplain
 Management Approaches and Recommendations for Changes to Floodplain
 Management), and needs identified under 361.35 of this title (relating
 to Flood Mitigation Need Analysis), input from the public, and other
 relevant information and considerations, RFPGs shall:
(1) Identify specific and achievable flood mitigation
 and floodplain management goals along with target years by which to
 meet those goals for the FPR to include, at a minimum, goals specifically
 addressing risks to life and property.
(2) Recognize and clearly state the levels of residual
 risk that will remain in the FPR even after the stated flood mitigation
 goals in paragraph (1) of this section are fully met.
(3) Structure and present the goals and the residual
 risks in an easily understandable format for the public including
 in conformance with guidance to be provided by the EA.
(4) Use these goals to guide the RFPG in carrying out
 the tasks required under §§361.37 - 361.39 of this title.
(5) When appropriate, choose goals that apply to full
 single HUC8 watershed boundaries or coterminous groups of HUC8 boundaries
 within the FPR.
(6) Identify both short-term goals (10 years) and long-term
 goals (30 years).
