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

This is in response to a letter from your office dated April 18, 2018, which transmitted the referenced second appeal on behalf of Nashville-Davidson County (Applicant). The Applicant is appealing the Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) denial of funding in the amount of $2,022,296.00 for costs associated with the use of police vehicles as an emergency protective measure. As explained in the enclosed analysis, I have determined that the Applicant has substantiated the type and hours of work performed by its police officers with documentation that justifies reimbursement based on FEMA’s hourly rate for police vehicles. Accordingly, I am granting 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.
