Congress is briefed five days before a grant award is announced
What the document says“the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency shall brief the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate five full business days in advance of announcing publicly the intention of making an award.”
Section 304(a). For grants under most of the allocations in the federal assistance account, the Administrator must brief both Appropriations Committees five full business days before publicly announcing an intended award. Subsection (b) rescinds $1,000,000 of FEMA operations money, and cuts the mission support amount in the explanatory statement table by the same sum, if an announcement is made early.
What the document actually says“the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency shall brief the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate five full business days in advance of announcing publicly the intention of making an award.”
FEMA must brief Congress before it names a grant winner. The briefing comes five work days ahead.
If the news goes out early, the agency loses $1,000,000. That comes from its own running money.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
