FEMA PA APPEAL SHORT SUMMARY & LINKS TO FEMA PA APPEAL WEBSITE

This is in response to a letter from your office dated July 10, 2014, which transmitted the referenced second appeal on behalf of Clarksville Gas and Water (Applicant). The Applicant appealed a total of seven PWs; the remaining PWs will be addressed in separate determination letters. Regarding PW 2418, the Applicant is appealing the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) denial of $82,000.00 in Public Assistance (PA) funding for two exterior high-voltage transformers and related switches located within its wastewater treatment plant. As explained in the enclosed analysis, I have determined that, pursuant to 44 C.F.R. § 206.223, the Applicant is legally responsible for the transformers and related switches. In addition, the Applicant’s request for $82,000.00 in PA funding to replace the transformers and related switches is reasonable. Therefore, I am granting the appeal. By copy of this letter, I am requesting the Regional Administrator take appropriate action to implement this determination. Please inform the Applicant of my decision. This determination is the final decision on this matter pursuant to 44 C.F.R. § 206.206, Appeals.
