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

This is in response to a letter from your office dated April 3, 2018, 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 denial of $81,000.32 in Common Area Maintenance (CAM) charges associated with its lease of Suite 167 in the Old Capitol Town Center (Facility). As explained in the enclosed analysis, I have determined that the CAM charges connected with the Applicant’s rental of the Facility are ineligible for funding. FEMA does not fund maintanence or operating costs for temporary facilities, nor will it fund the difference if those costs increase. 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.
