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.
