This is in response to a letter from your office dated March 20, 2018, which transmitted the referenced second appeal on behalf of Palm Beach County, Florida (Applicant). The Applicant is appealing the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) decision to uphold the deobligation of $622,654.00 in Public Assistance funding. As explained in the enclosed analysis, I have determined that the Applicant filed the first appeal in a timely manner, in accordance with 44 C.F.R. § 206.206(c). Moreover, the Applicant submitted the first appeal in response to an appealable eligibility decision per Stafford Act 423(a), and the appeal satisfied the format and content requirements of 44 C.F.R. § 206.206(a). Accordingly, I am granting the appeal and remanding it to FEMA Region IV to address the substantive issues of the appeal and issue a new first appeal decision. Please inform the Applicant of my decision. The Applicant’s right to a second appeal is not impacted by this decision. It may submit a second appeal pursuant to 44 C.F.R. § 206.206 if dissatisfied with the Regional Administrator’s new first appeal decision regarding this matter.
