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

This is in response to your letter dated February 11, 2015, which transmitted the referenced second appeal on behalf of Labette County (Applicant). The Applicant is appealing the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) denial of its request for a time extension associated with repairs to Xavier Road. As explained in the enclosed analysis, I have determined that the Applicant failed to establish extenuating circumstances justifying a time extension. Additionally, because the Applicant changed the scope of work without receiving prior approval from FEMA and did not complete the project by the expiration of the last time extension, the project is ineligible. Accordingly, I am denying this appeal. Please inform the Applicant of the decision. This determination is the final decision on this matter pursuant to 44 C.F.R. § 206.206, Appeals.
