of the Stafford Act.
    (b) What policies apply to FEMA public assistance grants? (1) The 
Stafford Act

requires that we deliver eligible assistance as quickly and efficiently 
as possible consistent with Federal laws and regulations. We expect the 
Grantee and the subgrantee to adhere to Stafford Act requirements and to 
these regulations when administering our public assistance grants.
    (2) The regulations entitled ``Uniform Requirements for Grants and 
Cooperative Agreements to State and Local Governments,'' published at 44 
CFR part 13, place requirements on the State in its role as Grantee and 
gives the Grantee discretion to administer federal programs under their 
own procedures. We expect the Grantee to:
    (i) Inform subgrantees about the status of their applications, 
including notifications of our approvals of Project Worksheets and our 
estimates of when we will make payments;
    (ii) Pay the full amounts due to subgrantees as soon as practicable 
after we approve payment, including the State contribution required in 
the FEMA-State Agreement; and
    (iii) Pay the State contribution consistent with State laws.
