With certain  exceptions, an Eligible Facility is a building, works, system, or equipment (built or manufactured), or an improved and  maintained natural feature, that  is owned  by an eligible  public  or Private Nonprofit (PNP) applicant. Land  used for agricultural purposes is not a facility (see Improved Property). A group of buildings  is not a facility.

To be eligible for Public Assistance funding a facility must:

 Be the responsibility of an eligible applicant

 Be located  in a designated disaster area (except that sheltering and evacuation facilities may be located  outside  the designated disaster area)  (see Designated Disaster Area)

 Not be under the specific authority of another Federal  agency

 Be in active use at the time of the disaster

Examples of eligible public facilities include:

 Roads (non-Federal Aid)                    Schools

 Sewage Treatment Plants                     Buildings

 Airports                                                  Bridges and Culverts

 Irrigation Channels                           Utilities

Eligible PNP facilities include (see Private Nonprofit (PNP) Facility):

 Educational facilities                            Medical facilities

 Utilities                                                  Rehabilitation facilities

 Certain  irrigation facilities                  Custodial  care facilities

 Emergency facilities (e.g., fire            Other essential government stations and rescue squads)                     services (see Eligible

Applicants)

If a facility is being used for purposes other than  which it was originally designed, the  eligible  restoration is limited  to restoring the  facility to its original  design  and  capacity, or restoring it to its immediate pre-disaster alternate purpose, whichever costs less.
