D. Costs for mitigation, management, and control of a declared fire on commingled Federal land when such costs are reimbursable to the State by a Federal agency under another statute

Answer 1

The correct answer is D.

The Fire Management Assistance Grant (FMAG) is a program that provides financial assistance to state, local, and tribal governments for the mitigation, management, and control of fires that threaten to become major disasters.

According to FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency), costs for mitigation, management, and control of a declared fire on commingled Federal land when such costs are reimbursable to the state by a Federal agency under another statute are generally ineligible for the FMAG.

Option A is generally eligible for FMAG, as it involves the relocation of fire prevention or suppression resources in anticipation of a major disaster. Option B is also generally eligible, as it involves the mobilization and demobilization of resources for a declared fire. Option C may be eligible if the repairs are necessary to address safety concerns related to the fire.

Therefore, the correct answer is D.
