INSTRUCTIONS TO EXECUTE THE <br />FEDERALLY FUNDED PUBLIC ASSISTANCE FUNDING AGREEMENT <br />BY THE SUBGRANTEE/SUBRECIPIENT <br />FEMA's Public Assistance program is a Federal grant to aid State and Local governments in <br />returning a disaster area to pre -disaster conditions. A minimum of 75% of eligible cost is provided <br />to primarily address the repair and restoration of public facilities and infrastructure which have been <br />damaged or destroyed, or the restoration of services which were negatively impacted. Eligible <br />Applicants are State, tribal, or local governments, and the owners or operators of certain private <br />nonprofit facilities. In order to be eligible for federal funds, you were required to submit a Request <br />for Public Assistance (RPA). That request has been approved. <br />FEMA and the State share the responsibility for making Public Assistance funds available to the <br />Subgrantee/Subrecipient. Funds that FEMA obligates to the State via electronic transfer, reside in <br />the Federal account (SMARTLINK) until the State is ready to award grants to the appropriate <br />Subgrantees/Subrecipients. <br />EXECUTION OF THE AGREEMENT <br />SIGNATURE AUTHORITY <br />1.
