This is in response to a letter from your office dated August 12, 2015, which transmitted the referenced second appeal on behalf of Sanborn Electric and Telecommunication Utility (Applicant). The Applicant is appealing the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) denial of $69,316.50 in Public Assistance funding to replace conductors on a portion of its electrical distribution system. As explained in the enclosed analysis, I have determined that the Applicant provided sufficient documentation to demonstrate the pre-disaster condition and capacity of the conductor and that the conductor meets the criteria for replacement listed within DAP 9580.6, Electric Utility Repair (Public and Private Nonprofit). Accordingly, I am granting the appeal. By copy of this letter, I am requesting the Regional Administrator to 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.
