Per 44 C.F.R. § 206.206(c)(2), a grantee must review and forward an applicant’s appeal to FEMA within 60 days of receipt. The Grantee received the Applicant’s first appeal on October 8, 2015, but did not forward it to FEMA with a recommendation until March 25, 2016. Therefore, as the Grantee submitted the Applicant’s first appeal more than 100 days beyond the required 60-day timeframe, the first appeal is untimely. Recovery Policy FP 205-081-2, implementing Stafford Act Section 705(c), does not apply where appeal rights are exhausted and FEMA has made a final administrative decision. Because the first appeal was untimely, the Applicant’s appeal rights lapsed. Therefore, FEMA’s guidance implementing Stafford Act Section 705(c) is not applicable.
