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

This is in response to a letter from your office dated July 31, 2015, which transmitted the referenced second appeal on behalf of The University of Iowa (Applicant). The Applicant is appealing the Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) denial of funding for $924.00 in premium costs associated with a builder’s risk policy. As explained in the enclosed analysis, I have determined that the builder’s risk premium is not eligible for funding as the provided documentation does not establish it is an allocable expense of the approved project and consequently it is not a direct result of the disaster. 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.
