The State notifies potential applicants of the availability of funds. <br />2. Applicants submit projects to the State. <br /> <br />Early on the State alerts FEMA of projects likely to be selected that will require <br />detailed environmental review. <br /> <br />3. The State HMGP staff or team thoroughly reviews the projects submitted by <br />potential subgrantees. <br /> <br />The State selects projects that best fit within its priorities and appear to be eligible. <br /> <br />4. The State submits selected projects to FEMA, in priority order. (Managing States <br />forward only summaries, otherwise States send full applications to FEMA.) <br /> <br />5. FEMA reviews the application or the State's eligibility recommendation and <br />environmental documentation. <br /> <br />6. If the application is approved, the State begins grant management. <br /> <br />'i' <br /> <br />The flowchart shown in Job Aid 6-1 summarizes the basic steps in the <br />application process. <br /> <br />Job Aid 6-1 <br /> <br />To ensure timely administration of the HMGP, FEMA and all States will follow the <br />timeframes detailed below. <br /> <br />This is a review of timeframes presented in Section 4. <br /> <br />The State will submit all selected local applications or summaries to the Regional <br />Director within 90 days after the State Hazard Mitigation Plan is approved. <br />(Approximately 9-18 months after disaster declaration.) <br /> <br />The Regional Director will obligate all funding within 24 months after the disaster <br />declaration. <br /> <br />Any HMGP funds not obligated or committed to a pending project application after the <br />24-month obligation deadline expire, and are no longer available. <br /> <br />The Regional Director may extend any of the above timeframes by 90 days, in the <br />event of extraordinary circumstances, upon a written request from the State. The <br />Associate Director for Mitigation may extend timeframes related to FEMA actions by 90 <br />days, in the event of extraordinary circumstances, upon written request by the <br />Regional Director. <br /> <br />Hazard Mitigation Grant Program Desk Reference-Draft <br /> <br />Page 6.1 <br />
