Per 44 C.F.R. § 206.226(a)(1), generally, disaster assistance will not be made available under the Stafford Act when another federal agency has specific authority to restore facilities damaged or destroyed by an event which is declared a major disaster. FHWA has authority to restore federal-aid highways under the ER program. Maine DOT and FHWA classify Long Beach Avenue as a federal-aid highway. Therefore, FHWA has specific authority to fund repairs for disaster-related damages to Long Beach Avenue, and permanent work for the restoration is not eligible for PA funding.

Because Long Beach Avenue is classified by FHWA as a federal-aid highway, FHWA has specific authority to fund repairs for disaster-related damages. Accordingly, per FEMA policy, the work is not eligible for PA funding. Therefore, this appeal is denied.
