Subchapter VIII - Forest Fire Protection Grant Program
Section NR 47.908 - Grant awards; payment

(1) GRANT AWARDS. Grants shall be awarded subject to execution of the department's grant agreement by both the department and the grant applicant.

(2) PAYMENT. Final payment shall be made upon approval of the completed project by the department's forest fire protection grant manager approval of the completed claim for reimbursement from the grantee. Interim payment may be requested by the grantee and approved by the department where a financial hardship would be imposed by waiting until the project had been completed.

Note: It is expected that interim payments would more often be made to fire suppression organizations who have large grants and limited capacity to pay vendor bills before they receive reimbursement from the department.

(3) FINAL AUDIT. All payments are contingent upon final audit. Financial records including all documentation to support entries in the accounting records shall be kept for review by department auditors for a period of 3 years after final payment.
