44 C.F.R. § 206.223(a)(3) states that eligible work must be the legal responsibility of the applicant. Per the PAPPG, FEMA evaluates legal responsibility for the claimed work on the basis of ownership and written legal agreements.

FEMA finds the Applicant did not have legal responsibility for the work at the time of the declared incident. Therefore, this appeal is denied.
