MEMORANDUM

TO: Agency Commissioners

FROM: Michael R. Bloomberg Mayor

DATE: June 13,2002

SUBJECT: FEMA Funding Requests

City agencies currently submit individual requests directly to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for reimbursement or other funding for costs incurred as a result of the terrorist attacks of September 11*. However, because FEMA funding is limited and our funding needs are numerous, I am establishing an 0MB coordinating committee to review all funding requests prior to their submission to FEMA.

The committee will consist of Mare Shaw, Deputy Mayor for Operations, Dan Doctoroff, Deputy Mayor for Economic Development and Rebuilding, and Mark Page, Director of the Office of Management and the Budget (0MB). It will review and prioritize the many funding needs of the City’s agencies to best access available federal assistance. In this way, we expect to work more effectively and efficiently with FEMA and related agencies. Accordingly, effective immediately, please submit completed FEMA applications directly to Mark Page at 0MB. No funding request should be sent directly to FEMA. FEMA is aware of this new policy and will not consider requests that are not reviewed by the coordinating committee.

All questions regarding this policy should be directed to Mark Page at (212) 788-5900,

Thank you for your cooperation.
