Under 44 C.F.R. 206.206(a); an appeal must specify the monetary figure in dispute and the provisions in Federal law; regulation; or policy with which the appellant believes the initial action was inconsistent.The Applicant September 26; 2013 letter did not include a specific monetary amount in dispute; and did not reference legal provisions with which Version 2 was inconsistent. Moreover; the plain language in the letter demonstrates it was not an appeal. As such; it does not satisfy the appeal content requirements of 44 C.F.R. 206.206(a).Stafford Act 423(a); as implemented by 44 C.F.R. 206.206(c)(1); allows an applicant to appeal any Public Assistance determination within 60 days of receiving notice of the appealable action.The Applicant filed a formal appeal of PW 671 (Version 2); almost two years after the 60-day timeframe required by 44 C.F.R. 206.206(c)(1) expired. As such; its first appeal was untimely.Appeal Letter
