Using the FEMA major disaster declarations as a starting point for determining the method of apportioning the $47.5 million, the NPS will divide the appropriation into two groups. Group 1 includes $38 million and will be apportioned to the four States containing counties that FEMA designated as eligible to receive both Individual and Public Assistance - Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island. The remaining funds will comprise Group 2, and will be awarded to the remaining eight States, the District of Columbia, and any Federally-recognized Indian Tribes located in those States, through an application process and based on need as described in proposals submitted by the States and Tribes to the NPS. In apportioning the $38 million from Group 1 that will be assigned to CT, NJ, NY, and RI, because State Historic Preservation Offices (SHPO) in those States have not yet completed damage assessments to historic properties, there is no single best method of determining need. Funds will be distributed using a formula that takes into account three evaluation factors, each having equal weight: 1) population of counties eligible for both IA and PA, 2) land area of counties eligible for both IA and PA , and 3) the number of properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places in counties eligible for both IA and PA. Not applicable. 30 - 90 days. NONE. Recipients may request renewal of existing projects or additional projects to meet program goals and objectives.

NPS may choose to award some funding competitively and reapportion funds as needed based on: a) Historic significance b) Degree of disaster related damage c) Ability of the project to correct the disaster related damage e) Feasibility to complete the project Hurricane Sandy HPF relief grants must be used to preserve properties listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.
