              TITLE 44--EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND ASSISTANCE
 
             CHAPTER I--FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
 
PART 151--REIMBURSEMENT FOR COSTS OF FIREFIGHTING ON FEDERAL PROPERTY--Table of Contents
 
              Subpart B--Submission, Determination, Appeal
 
Sec. 151.13  Reconsideration of amount authorized for payment.

    (a) If the claimant elects to protest the amount authorized for 
payment, after the applicable procedures of Sec. 151.12 have been 
followed, it must within 30 days of receipt of notification of the 
amount authorized notify the Director in writing of its objections and 
set forth the reasons why the Director should reconsider the 
determination. The Director will upon notice of protest and receipt of 
additional evidence reconsider the determination of the amount of 
Federal payments under Sec. 151.12(a)(2) but not the determination of 
the amount of costs under Sec. 151.12(a)(1). The Director shall cause a 
reconsideration by the Secretary of the Treasury of the amount actually 
available and authorized for payment by the Treasury. The Director, upon 
receipt of the Secretary of the Treasury's reconsidered determination, 
will notify the claimant in writing of the amount authorized, upon 
reconsideration, for payment in full settlement of the claim.
    (b) If the claimant elects to accept the amount authorized, upon 
reconsideration, for payment in full settlement of its claims, it must 
within 30 days (or a longer period of time acceptable to the Director) 
of its receipt of that determination notify the Director of its 
acceptance in writing accompanied by a properly executed document of 
release. Upon receipt of such notice and document of release, the 
Director will

forward the claim, a copy of the Director's final determination, and the 
claimant's document of release to the Secretary of the Treasury for 
payment of the claim in the amount of final authorization.
