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

This is in response to a letter from your office dated May 25, 2018, which transmitted the referenced second appeal on behalf of the City of Pahokee (Applicant). The Applicant is appealing the Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency’s denial of a time extension request for permanent repairs to the Applicant’s floating docks. As explained in the enclosed analysis, I have determined that the Regional Administrator properly exercised discretion in affirming FEMA’s initial decision denying the Applicant’s time extension request because it did not demonstrate that its insurance claim or a lack of matching funds were an extenuating circumstance outside of its control. 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.
