Force Account

What is the maximum hourly rate provided by FEMA for State, Territorial, or Tribal rates?

According to the provided document, FEMA provides Public Assistance (PA) funding based on State, Territorial, or Tribal (SLTT) rates up to $75 per hour. ​ This means that if the SLTT rates established under State, Territorial, or Tribal guidelines for normal day-to-day operations are below or equal to $75 per hour, FEMA will provide reimbursement based on those rates. ​However, if the SLTT rates exceed $75 per hour, the Applicant must demonstrate that each component of the rate is comparable to current market prices. FEMA evaluates the rate for approval on a case-by-case basis, considering whether the rate is reasonable and comparable to prevailing market rates. ​It's important to note that the document does not mention any specific maximum hourly rate beyond $75 for SLTT rates. Therefore, $75 per hour appears to be the threshold for reimbursement unless the Applicant can justify higher rates based on market prices and receives approval from FEMA. ​
