50 PAPPG Chapter 3:IV.D, within sixty (60) days of completion of its last Small Project. FEMA refers to this as a net small project overrun appeal. The appeal must include actual cost documentation for all Small Projects that FEMA originally funded based on estimate amounts. To ensure that all work has been performed within the scope of work specified on the Project Worksheets, the Recipient will conduct final inspections on Large Projects, and may, at its sole discretion, select one or more Small Projects to be inspected. Costs determined to be outside of the approved scope of work and/or outside of the approved performance period cannot be reimbursed.
