Under 44 C.F.R. § 206.223, an applicant must demonstrate that the work completed was (1) generated as a result of the major disaster; (2) located within the designated area of a major disaster; and (3) the legal responsibility of the applicant. The Applicant does not establish the type of debris removed or the collection locations of any of the work completed by FAL, FAE, and two of the three private contractors. As such, the Applicant does not demonstrate the work is disaster-related or the legal responsibility of the Applicant. PA policy recommends applicants document the following to support a request for contract costs: (1) locations of debris removal; (2) type of debris removed; (3) debris quantities; (4) identification of the debris hauling truck and contractor; (5) labor, equipment, and materials charges, including hours of service; and (6) load tickets. As the Applicant does not include documentation for the last four items above with respect to the work completed by the third contractor, the cost paid to the contractor is ineligible for PA.

: The Town of Franklin (Applicant) has not demonstrated the work completed by its force account labor (FAL), force account equipment (FAE), and two of the private contractors, was disaster-related or the legal responsibility of the Applicant. Moreover, the Applicant has not produced documentation that establishes the cost paid to the third private contractor is eligible for Public Assistance (PA). Consequently, as the project costs are ineligible for PA, the direct administrative costs (DAC) are also ineligible.
