The Stafford Act provides that FEMA may grant a waiver of administrative conditions “if the inability to meet them is a result of the major disaster.” Neither the Applicant nor the Grantee have demonstrated that the late transmittal was related to the disaster, so Section 301 of the Stafford Act does not apply. Grantees are responsible for ensuring that potential applicants are aware of available PA and timely submitting documents necessary for the award of grants. FEMA may extend submission deadlines if the grantee requests an extension and provides justification, based on extenuating circumstances beyond the grantee’s or applicant’s control, in writing. Neither the Applicant nor the Grantee demonstrated that extenuating circumstances beyond either’s control prevented timely submission of an RPA.

Neither the Applicant nor the Grantee has demonstrated that extenuating circumstances beyond either’s control prevented timely submission of an RPA. Therefore, the Applicant’s second appeal is denied.
