Per 2 C.F.R. § 200.403(a), costs must be reasonable and necessary for the performance of the federal award. According to 2 C.F.R. § 200.404, a cost is considered reasonable if, in its nature and amount, it does not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person under the circumstances prevailing at the time the decision was made to incur the cost. Monitoring costs for the first 90 days of debris removal operations were properly reimbursed, and FEMA will not reimburse costs incurred beyond those 90 days resulting from its deficient recordkeeping, as they were not reasonable and necessary for the performance of the federal award.

Debris monitoring costs for the first 90 days were properly reimbursed in other PWs. FEMA will not reimburse costs incurred beyond those 90 days resulting from its deficient recordkeeping, as they were not reasonable and necessary for the performance of the federal award. The appeal is denied.
