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

This is in response to a letter from your office dated February 20, 2017, which transmitted the referenced second appeal on behalf of the St. Thomas University (Applicant). The Applicant is appealing the Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) denial of reimbursement for $312,035.79 in additional invoices submitted after closeout. As explained in the enclosed analysis, I have determined that, because the first appeal was untimely, the Applicant’s appeal rights lapsed regarding FEMA’s closeout determinations and the amount of the final obligation for PW 6269. Moreover, the second appeal was also untimely. Accordingly, I am denying this appeal. 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.
