Pursuant to Stafford Act § 423(a) and 44 C.F.R. § 206.206(c)(1), appeals must be filed within 60 days after receipt of a notice of the action that is being appealed Applicant received FEMA’s first appeal decision on March 1, 2016. Applicant filed its second appeal on May 27, 2016. Pursuant to 44 C.F.R. § 206.206(a), appeal shall contain documented justification supporting the appellant’s position. Applicant’s submission of over 12,000 documents with no explanation as to how those documents support its appeal fails to meet the requirements of submitting documented justification. FP 205-081-2 applies if appeal rights are available all three statutory criteria of Section 705(c) are satisfied. Applicant’s second appeal is untimely. As a result, its appeal rights have lapsed and FP 205-081-2 does not apply. The Applicant also has not demonstrated that the costs were reasonable and the purpose of the grant was accomplished. Therefore, FP 205-081-2 does not apply.

: The City of Sweetwater’s (Applicant) second appeal was untimely. Applicant’s first and second appeal both lacked documented justification as required by 44 C.F.R. § 206.206(a). FEMA’s Section 705(c) policy does not apply to this appeal because the Applicant’s second appeal rights lapsed and, even if it did, the Applicant has not demonstrated, due to inadequate documentation, that the costs were reasonable and the purpose of the grant was accomplished.
