PART 204_FIRE MANAGEMENT ASSISTANCE GRANT PROGRAM--Table of Contents

 

                      Subpart B_Declaration Process

 

Sec.  204.25  FEMA-State agreement for fire management assistance grant program.



    (a) After a State's request for a fire management assistance 

declaration has been approved, the Governor and Regional Director will 

enter into a standing FEMA-State Agreement (the Agreement) for the 

declared fire and for future declared fires in that calendar year. The 

State must have a signed and up-to-date FEMA-State Agreement before 

receiving Federal funding for fire management assistance grants. FEMA 

will provide no funding absent a signed and up-to-date Agreement. An 

Indian tribal government serving as Grantee, must sign a FEMA-Tribal 

Agreement, modeled upon the FEMA-State Agreement.

    (b) The Agreement states the understandings, commitments, and 

conditions under which we will provide Federal assistance, including the 

cost share provision and articles of agreement necessary for the 

administration of grants approved under fire management assistance 

declarations. The Agreement must also identify the State legislative 

authority for firefighting, as well as the State's compliance with the 

laws, regulations, and other provisions applicable to the Fire 

Management Assistance Grant Program.

    (c) For each subsequently declared fire within the calendar year, 

the parties must add a properly executed amendment, which defines the 

incident period and contains the official declaration number. Other 

amendments modifying the standing Agreement may be added throughout the 

year to reflect changes in the program or signatory parties.
