Per 44 C.F.R. § 206.223(a)(1), to be eligible for financial assistance, an item of work must be required as the result of the major disaster. The PAPPG, at 19 and 133, provides thatan applicant is responsible for providing documentation to support its claim as eligible and show that work is required to address damage caused by the disaster. FEMA does not provide PA funding for normal maintenance, or the repair of damage caused by deterioration. The Applicant has not provided documentation to demonstrate that the work to repair the road and embankment was required as a result of the disaster. Per the PAPPG, at 128, if an eligible facility is located on a slope and is damaged as a result of a landslide or slope instability triggered by the declared incident, FEMA determines the stability of the slope that supports the facility before it approves PA funding to restore the facility. Restoration of the integral ground that supports the facility may also be eligible. The Applicant has not provided pre-disaster documentation or a technical assessment demonstrating the sloped embankment was stable, in good condition, and became unstable as a direct result of the disaster.

FEMA finds that the Applicant has not demonstrated that the claimed work was required as a result of the declared incident. Therefore, this appeal is denied
