Management costs are not automatically provided or calculated and recipients/subrecipients must include management costs in their subapplications.
All recipients and subrecipients must apply for management costs before the HMGP or HMGP Post Fire application deadline. If a recipient or subrecipient does not apply for management costs by the application deadline, management costs will no longer be available for the remainder of the project.
Recipients must submit a separate management costs subapplication within their award package. The subapplication for recipient management costs must be included in the overall award application or the request will not be considered.
Subapplicants may apply for management costs by including them in their subapplication budget as a separate line item.
A separate management costs narrative (activity description, schedule, cost estimate and budget narrative) must be provided in the electronic application system to apply for management costs.
The documentation must include:
- A description of activities, personnel requirements and other costs for which the recipient/subrecipient will use management cost assistance provided under this part.
- The recipient/subrecipient's plan for expending and monitoring the assistance provided under this part and ensuring sufficient assistance is budgeted for award and subaward closeout.
For BRIC and FMA, recipients may apply for management costs in accordance with the instructions and requirements of the NOFO.
For HMGP and HMGP Post Fire, subapplicants who are requesting management costs must apply through their recipient. All subapplications submitted to FEMA must meet the eligibility criteria in Part 4. All subapplications must have a scoping narrative in accordance with Part 6.
