FEMA PA APPEAL SHORT SUMMARY & LINKS TO FEMA PA APPEAL WEBSITE

This is in response to a letter from your office emailed on June 29, 2017, which transmitted the referenced second appeal on behalf of the City of Aventura (Applicant). The Applicant is appealing the Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) denial of $58,570.00 in funding for debris removal. As explained in the enclosed analysis, the Florida Division of Emergency Management did not submit the Applicant’s first appeal within the 60-day timeframe pursuant to Title 44 of the Code of Federal Regulations (44 C.F.R.) § 206.206(c)(2). Thus, the Applicant’s first appeal is untimely. Accordingly, I am denying this appeal. Please inform the Applicant of my decision. This determination is the final decision on this matter pursuant to 44 C.F.R. § 206.206, Appeals.
