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.
