Program Schedule

The FMA program schedule is consistent with the annual
PPNCA schedule, which includes:

. A period of approximately 6 months prior to the start of the
Federal fiscal year, during which States receive FEMA
Requests for Applications from the FEMA Regional Office,
participate in workshops/conferences and negotiations, and
submit applications to the Region.

. A warding of planning and technical assistance grants to
States at the beginning of the fiscal year.

. A warding of project grants as project applications are
approved.

. A schedule of deadlines for quarterly financial reports and
biannual performance reports.

The schedule is published annually in the PPNCA guidance.
This same schedule will apply to States electing to adopt a
separate FMA CA.
