Except in limited circumstances, straight-time labor of a budgeted/permanent employee performing emergency work is ineligible for funding. FEMA may reimburse extraordinary costs (such as call back pay and hazardous duty pay) for essential employees who are called back to duty during administrative leave to perform eligible emergency work if costs are paid in accordance with a labor policy that meets certain criteria.

The Applicant has not demonstrated that straight-time for its permanent, budgeted employees were funded by an external source, nor that they were called back from administrative leave. Therefore, this appeal is denied.
