FEMA will reimburse DAC incurred by applicants that is properly documented and can be tracked, charged, and accounted for directly to a specific project. The Applicant provided information substantiating 118 disputed administrative tasks. The information does not substantiate the remainder of the claim, which is ineligible. For facilities damaged by flood, an applicant must obtain and maintain flood insurance in the amount of eligible PA funding as a condition of receiving the grant. The Applicant failed to procure the required flood insurance for the Dalcour WTP in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Permanent work and DAC for the site are ineligible.
The Applicant substantiated additional DAC in the amount of $18,396.25. The remainder of the DAC claim was not substantiated and is ineligible. Additionally, the Applicant did not procure flood insurance coverage for the Dalcour WTP following Hurricane Katrina. Consequently, the Dalcour WTP is ineligible for PA funding under PW 1476. Therefore, this appeal is partially granted.
