Section 100216(b) of the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 ( 42 U.S.C. 4101b(b) ) is amended by adding at the end the following: Subject to full implementation of this section, and notwithstanding any other provision of law, this paragraph shall apply to a community in which the Administrator maps or re-maps a levee-impacted area in which the pertinent levee system fails to meet the minimum design, operation, and maintenance standards of the National Flood Insurance Program required for levee accreditation on a National Flood Insurance Program rate map.
For levee-impacted areas described in subparagraph (A), the Administrator shall establish flood risk zones known as AL Zones on the National Flood Insurance Program rate map. The Administrator shall make available flood insurance to properties in AL Zones at actuarial rates based upon the risk associated with structures within the applicable AL Zone. Until the Administrator promulgates actuarial rates for the various AL Zones, a structure within a portion of a community located within a levee-impacted area described in subparagraph
(A)shall be eligible for rates associated with areas of moderate flood hazards (also known as Standard X zone rates). .
