SECTION 145:10-3-9. Designation of affected areas

(a)   Areas eligible to receive assistance. The Director has been delegated authority to designate areas eligible for supplementary State assistance under the Act.

(b)   Requests for additional designations after a declaration. After a declaration by the Governor, requests that additional areas or types of supplementary State assistance may be authorized by the Director. Such requests shall be accompanied by appropriate verified assessments and commitments by eligible Applicant(s) to demonstrate that the requested designations are justified and that the unmet needs are beyond local capabilities without supplementary State assistance.

(c)   Time limits to request. In order to be considered, all supplemental requests under subsection (b) of this section must be submitted within 30 days from the termination date of the incident period. The 30-day period may be extended by the Director provided that a written request is made by the eligible Applicant's highest elected official during this 30-day period. The request must include justification of the local's inability to meet the deadline.
