Per 44 C.F.R. § 206.202(d)(ii) an applicant has 60 days following its first substantive meeting with FEMA to identify and report damages. The Applicant has not demonstrated that the playground damages were identified and reported to FEMA before the regulatory deadline. Per 44 C.F.R. § 206.202(f)(2), FEMA may extend the time limitations for identifying and submitting damages when the Grantee justifies and makes a request in writing. The justification must be based on extenuating circumstances beyond the Applicant’s or Grantee's control.
The Applicant has not demonstrated that the playground damages were identified and reported to FEMA before the regulatory deadline. Neither the Applicant nor the Grantee has demonstrated that extenuating circumstances beyond either party’s control impacted the submission of the damages at issue in a timely manner. Therefore, this appeal is denied.
