Per 44 C.F.R. § 206.206(c)(2), a grantee must review and forward an applicant’s appeal to FEMA within 60-days of receipt. FEMA has no authority under the Stafford Act or 44 C.F.R. to grant time extensions for filing appeals. The Grantee submitted the second appeal 137 days after receipt, thus it is untimely.

: The University of Texas Medical Branch’s (Applicant) second appeal is untimely because the Texas Division of Emergency Management (Grantee) submitted it outside of the 60-day regulatory timeline.
