Sec. 204.26  Appeal of fire management assistance declaration denial.

    (a) Submitting an appeal. When we deny a State's request for a fire 
management assistance declaration, the Governor or GAR may appeal the 
decision in writing within 30 days after the date of the letter denying 
the request. The State should submit this one-time request for 
reconsideration in writing, with appropriate additional information, to 
the Associate Director through the Regional Director. The Associate 
Director will notify the State of his/her determination on the appeal, 
in writing, within 90 days of receipt of the appeal or the receipt of 
additional requested information.
    (b) Requesting a time-extension. The Associate Director may extend 
the 30-day period provided that the Governor or the GAR submits a 
written request for such an extension within the 30-day period. The 
Associate Director will evaluate the need for an extension based on the 
reasons cited in the request and either approve or deny the request for 
an extension.
