Sec. 4.9  How does the Director receive and respond to comments?



    (a) The Director follows the procedures in Sec. 4.10 if:

    (1) A State office or official is designated to act as a single 

point of contact between a state process and all Federal agencies, and

    (2) That office or official transmits a state process recommendation 

for a program selected under Sec. 4.6.

    (b)(1) The single point of contact is not obligated to transmit 

comments from State, areawide, regional or local officials and entities 

where there is no state process recommendation.

    (2) If a state process recommendation is transmitted by a single 

point of contact, all comments from state, areawide, regional, and local 

officials and entities that differ from it must also be transmitted.

    (c) If a State has not established a process, or is unable to submit 

a state process recommendation, State, areawide, regional and local 

officials and entities may submit comments to FEMA.

    (d) If a program or activity is not selected for a state process, 

State, areawide, regional and local officials and entities may submit 

comments to FEMA. In addition, if a state process recommendation for a 

nonselected program or activity is transmitted to FEMA by the single 

point of contact, the Director follows the procedures of Sec. 4.10 of 

this part.

    (e) The Director considers comments which do not constitute a state 

process recommendation submitted under these regulations and for which 

the Director is not required to apply the procedures of Sec. 4.10 of 

this part, when such comments are provided by a single point of contact, 

by the applicant or directly to FEMA by a commenting party.
