Sec. 152.9  Reconsideration.

    (a) Reconsideration of initial grant award decisions. We will review 
our decision with respect to an initial grant award decision only when 
the applicant asserts that we have made a material technical or 
procedural error in the processing of the application and can 
substantiate such assertions. As grants are awarded on a competitive 
basis, in accordance with the findings of an independent panel of 
experts, we cannot consider requests for reconsideration based upon the 
merits of an original application. Similarly, we will not consider new 
information provided after the submission of the original application. 
In the case of new information, we encourage applicants to incorporate 
their changed circumstances into their applications for future grant 
cycles.
    (b) Reconsideration of other decisions. We will consider requests 
for reconsideration of decisions other than those

related to the initial grant award on their merits.
    (c) We must receive a request for reconsideration under this section 
within 60 days of the date of the notice of the decision for which 
reconsideration is requested.
    (d) Requests for reconsideration should be directed to: Director, 
Grants Program Office, U.S. Fire Administration, FEMA, 500 C Street, 
SW., Room 330, Washington, DC 20472.
