Result of Declared Incident – Other Federal Agency

Disaster Causation

HEADNOTES

Per 44 C.F.R. §206.223(a)(1) and PAPPG at 19, to be eligible for financial assistance, an item of work must be required as the result of the emergency or major disaster event. Per PAPPG at 116, FEMA reviews material purchase invoices and activity logs and inspects other section of the Applicant’s road system to confirm the performance of normal maintenance activities. The Applicant has not substantiated that the repairs conducted were required as a direct result of the declared incident. Per 44 C.F.R. §206.226(a)(1) and PAPPG at 17 and 116, if permanent work is under the authority of another Federal Agency, FEMA does not provide assistance to restore that Facility even if that Federal Agency does not provide funding. Even though the Applicant missed the deadline to claim funding from the NRCS, the facilities fall under that agency’s authority and, as such, are not eligible for PA funding.

CONCLUSION

The Applicant has not demonstrated that the claimed work was required as a result of the disaster. Furthermore, FEMA finds the facilities under the specific authority of the NRCS are not eligible for PA funding. Accordingly, this appeal is denied.
