FEMA’s Web site at https://

policy, all related Federal Register

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
policy clarifies FEMA’s requirements
under Section 705 of the Robert T.
Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act (Act), and establishes the
guidelines to determine whether Section
705 applies to prohibit FEMA from
recovering payments made under the
Public Assistance Program. The
substantive change to this final policy
from the proposed policy that was
published in the Federal Register on
September 30, 2015 is the guidance for
determining when payment has been
made under the Act. The final policy
establishes in policy Section VII.B.1.a
that ‘‘Payment has occurred when the
recipient draws down funds obligated
for the completion of the approved
scope of work through SmartLink.’’ This
is a revision to the proposed policy
which stated that payment occurred
when the recipient or pass through
entity had drawn down all funds
necessary to complete the approved
scope of work through SmartLink
(emphasis added). The final policy
further clarifies that if Section 705(c)
applies, FEMA is prohibited from
recovering payments made (e.g., the
amount of funds drawn down by the
recipient in association with completion
of the approved scope of work), but that
FEMA is not prohibited from
deobligating funds that the recipient has
not drawn down. The final policy also
adds language explicitly establishing
that when Section 705(a) Statute of
Limitations applies to prohibit FEMA
from directly recovering subject
payments, FEMA will still pursue
administrative offset as appropriate
pursuant to the Debt Collection
Improvement Act of 1996, as amended,
