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

This is in response to a letter from your office dated December 15, 2017, which transmitted the referenced second appeal on behalf of Washington State Patrol (Applicant). The Applicant is appealing the Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) denial of $21,504.20 in costs pertaining to labor expenses. As explained in the enclosed analysis, I have determined that the Applicant did not demonstrate that the costs associated with labor hours were for fire suppression or other disaster related work. Additionally, the Applicant did not provide the requested documentation to support its claim that FEMA incorrectly reduced eligible labor hours in the amount of $421.35. Therefore, I am denying this appeal. Please inform the Applicant of my decision. This determination is the final decision on this matter pursuant to 44 CFR § 204.54, Appeals.
