§ 39.74 - Application procedures.

Application for disbursement from the School Disaster Contingency Fund shall be made to the Director of the Office of Indian Education Programs, through the Agency Superintendent of Education for the school affected. Applications shall be subject to review and comment by the Superintendent, and the Area Director for Education of the Area in which the school is located, but shall not require the approval of these officers. Such review and comment activities shall be carried out concurrently with the Director's processing of the application so that there are no delays in the transmission of the application to the Director. The Director shall develop such application forms and requests for information and documentation as are necessary to prove both loss and the fact that replacement costs are outside the normal budgetary capacity of the school operation at either the local school, Agency or Area levels.
