Typically, facilities under construction are the responsibility of the contractor until the owner has accepted the work as complete. In the event of damage to a facility under construction, FEMA must determine if the applicant is responsible for repairs before granting assistance. Repairs are eligible in the following situations:
   †  The contract under which the work is being performed places responsibility for damage on the applicant during the construction period.
   †  Prior to the disaster, the applicant had accepted the work as complete and had, therefore, assumed responsibility. If the applicant had accepted responsibility for a portion of the site, repairs to that portion of the site would be eligible.
   Repairs are not eligible if the work is the responsibility of the contractor at the time of the disaster.
