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

This is in response to a letter from your office dated January 9, 2017, which transmitted the referenced second appeal on behalf of Cameron Parish School Board (Applicant). The Applicant is appealing the Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) denial of funding in the amount of $41,705.26 in costs associated with the replacement of field house dressing rooms, a storage building and a utility building. As explained in the enclosed analysis, I have determined that the functions at issue existed prior to the disaster and do not constitute improvements, thus, costs to install these utilities are eligible for PA funding. Because the above costs are eligible, proportional costs for general conditions, project supervision, profit, and overhead costs are also eligible for funding. Accordingly, I am granting this 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.
