The CBIA tripled the size of the System established by the Coastal Barrier Resource Act of 1982. The CBIA does not allow the issuance of new Federal flood insurance within "otherwise protected areas" on buildings constructed after November 16, 1991, unless the building is used in a manner related to the reason the area is protected].
