44 C.F.R. § 206.226(a) limits PA funding where there is another Federal authority to restore facilities. CWPPRA creates an ongoing Federal program to specifically address restoration of the barrier islands. Stafford Act Section 312 specifically prohibits applicants from receiving duplicate financial assistance. The cost share agreement between the Applicant and NRCS creates a potential duplication of benefits.

: Funding is precluded because another Federal program is specifically charged with the restoration of these islands. Funding is also precluded because there is a potential duplication of benefits.
