Guidance Document for FY12

Timeline

• The PDM, FMA, RFC, and SRL application period opens on June 1, 2010. FEMA will review all grant applications that are submitted through the Electronic Grants (eGrants) system by November 5, 2010, at 5:00 PM Central Time (Notice of Intents are not required for these programs).  This should give me sufficient time to review any applications, and if needed, to get them back to you for revision and then get them back in time to get them off to FEMA by December 3, 2010.
• The timelines below are specific for applications received by November 5, 2010, for PDM, FMA, RFC, and SRL:
