The additional 5% Initiative funding can be used for activities that promote disaster-resistant codes for all hazards. As a condition of the award, either a disaster- resistant building code must be adopted or an improved Building Code Effectiveness Grading Schedule is required. ** Miscellaneous/Other indicates that any proposed action will be evaluated on its own merit against program requirements. Eligible projects will be approved provided funding is available. Management Costs For HMGP only: The Recipient may request up to 4.89 percent of the HMGP allocation for management costs. The Recipient is responsible for determining the amount, if any, of funds that will be passed through to the subrecipient(s) for their management costs. Applicants for PDM and FMA may apply for a maximum of 10 percent of the total funds requested in their award application budget (Federal and non‐Federal shares) for management costs to support the project and planning subapplications included as part of their application. Subapplicants for PDM and FMA may apply for a maximum of 5 percent of the total funds requested in a subapplication for management costs. National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Participation There are a number of ways that HMA eligibility is related to the NFIP: Subapplicant Eligibility: All subapplicants for FMA must be participating in the NFIP, and not be withdrawn or suspended, to be eligible to apply for grant funds. Certain political subdivisions (i.e., regional flood control districts or county governments) may apply and act as subrecipients if they are part of a community that is participating in the NFIP where the political subdivision provides zoning and building code enforcement or planning and community development professional services for that community. Project Eligibility: HMGP and PDM mitigation project subapplications for projects sited within a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) are eligible only if the jurisdiction in which the project is located is participating in the NFIP. There is no NFIP participation requirement for HMGP and PDM project subapplications located outside of the SFHA. Property Eligibility: Properties included in a project subapplication for FMA funding must be NFIP-insured at the time of the application submittal. Flood insurance must be maintained for the life of the structure. 6.3.B. - Page 9
