This is in response to a letter from your office dated January 26, 2016, which transmitted the referenced second appeal on behalf of the City of Duquesne (Applicant). The Applicant is appealing the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) denial of costs related to the use of a closed-circuit television camera system (CCTV) within its sewer main to identify damage and debris and locate sewer lateral line connections after a tornado devastated the area. As explained in the enclosed analysis, I have determined that in this instance, the Applicant’s use of CCTV was a necessary and cost-effective component of the eligible emergency protective measure of capping the sewer lateral lines. Accordingly, I am approving the second appeal for $95,053.60. 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 Agency decision on this matter pursuant to 44 C.F.R. § 206.206, Appeals.
