II. Background

    The PAPPG contains consolidated Public Assistance (PA) Program 
policies for the entire disaster recovery life cycle. The PAPPG 
provides comprehensive PA policy to use when evaluating eligibility. 
The PAPPG references and provides weblinks to other FEMA policies and 
documents such as standard operating procedures and job aids that 
provide detailed instructions for individuals involved with 
implementing each of the various steps. This proposed version 5 of the 
PAPPG would streamline ways for our customers to meet requirements 
through reducing documentation needs to meet eligibility, increase 
accessibility to the PA program and funding, promote the equitable 
treatment and timely recovery of communities, and effectuate resilient 
rebuilding through additional cost-effective hazard mitigation 
measures. The proposed policy does not have the force and effect of 
law.
    FEMA seeks comment on the proposed policy, which is available 
online at <a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a> under docket ID FEMA-2024-0010. 
Based on the comments received, FEMA may make appropriate revisions to 
the proposed policy. 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 <a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a>. The final policy 
will not have the force and effect of law.
    Authority: The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency 
Assistance Act, as amended (Stafford Act), 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.; 44 
CFR part 206.
