FEMA provides PA funding for contract costs based on the terms of the contract if an applicant meets federal procurement and contracting requirements.The administrative record does not show any agreement or contract between the Applicant and the independent entities that bind the Applicant to reimburse the cost incurred in the AmeriCorps personnel deployment.Under the PA program; force account labor incurred in the performance of eligible work may be eligible. For contracted backfill employees; costs are eligible even if the backfill employee is not performing eligible work if the employee that he or she is replacing is performing eligible emergency work. FEMA establishes a minimum project threshold for each fiscal year. A project is not eligible if the total dollar value is less than the minimum threshold.After the reduction of the ineligible FAL costs; the project cost falls under the minimum threshold of $3;300.00; and; therefore; the total FAL costs are not eligible for funding.
