II. Background
This is an existing policy that is scheduled for review to ensure
that Recovery Directorate policies are consistent with current laws and
regulations. The proposed policy establishes the criteria by which
applicants will be credited for volunteer labor, donated equipment and
donated materials used in the performance of eligible emergency work
(Categories A and B). A proposed change to the policy will allow the
value of mass care and sheltering activities provided by a voluntary
agency to be applied to the non-Federal share as a donated resource
even when those activities are part of the organization's mission. The
proposed policy does not have the force or effect of law.
FEMA seeks comment on the proposed policy, which is available
online at http://www.regulations.gov in docket ID FEMA-2013-0044. Based
on the comments received, FEMA may make appropriate revisions to the
proposed policy. Although FEMA will consider any comments received in
the drafting of the final policy, FEMA will not provide a response to
comments. When or if FEMA issues a final policy, FEMA will publish a
notice of availability in the Federal Register and make the final
policy available at http://www.regulations.gov. The final policy will
not have the force or effect of law.
Authority: 42 U.S.C. 5121-5207.

Director, Office of Policy and Program Analysis, Federal Emergency
Management Agency.
