  To provide that a manufactured home may be protected during a flood 
event without affecting eligibility of a community for participation in 
                 the national flood insurance program.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``National Flood Insurance Program 
Eligibility Correction Act''.

SEC. 2. ELIGIBILITY FOR PARTICIPATION IN FEDERAL FLOOD INSURANCE 
              PROGRAM.

    The placement of any manufactured or mobile home on any site shall 
not affect the eligibility of any community to participate in the 
Federal flood insurance program under the National Flood Insurance Act 
of 1968 and the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (notwithstanding 
that such placement may fail to comply with any elevation or flood 
damage mitigation requirements), if--
            (1) such manufactured or mobile home was previously located 
        on such site;
            (2) such manufactured or mobile home was relocated from 
        such site because of flooding that threatened or affected such 
        site; and
            (3) such replacement is conducted not later than the 
        expiration of the 180-day period that begins upon the 
        subsidence (in the area of such site) of the body of water that 
        flooded to a level considered lower than flood levels.
