A late Disaster Relief Fund report costs $100,000 a day
What the document says“the amount made available for ``Office of the Secretary and Executive Management--Operations and Support--Management and Oversight'' shall be reduced by $100,000 for each day such report is not submitted and published on the Agency's website”
Section 541(a). The monthly Disaster Relief Fund report carried forward by section 306 must reach both Appropriations Committees and be published on FEMA's website by the fifth business day of the month. Each day it is late costs the department's management and oversight account $100,000. Subsection (b) applies the same daily cut whenever more than 500 reimbursement requests have sat under final review for over 60 days, and subsection (c) excepts periods when the disaster fund balance is only enough for lifesaving work.
What the document actually says“the amount made available for ``Office of the Secretary and Executive Management--Operations and Support--Management and Oversight'' shall be reduced by $100,000 for each day such report is not submitted and published on the Agency's website”
For each day the report is late, one account loses $100,000. The report must also be posted online.
The cut hits the front office of the department, not FEMA. A second rule bites when too many payback asks sit unanswered.
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.
