Sny Island Levee Drainage District Issues Public Comment on FEMA Proposed Rule Targeted News Service Sny Island Levee Drainage District, New Canton, Illinois, has issued a public comment on the Federal Emergency Management Agency proposed rule entitled "Cost of Assistance Estimates in the Disaster Declaration Process for the Public Assistance Program". The comment was written on March 10, 2021, and posted on March 12, 2021: The Sny Island Levee Drainage District (Sny) appreciates this opportunity to provide comment on FEMA's proposal to amend 44 CFR 206.48(a)(l) by revising the "estimated cost of the assistance" factor it considers when recommending a major disaster declaration. Too often of late we have observed Federal Agencies wanting to use processes other than rulemaking as intended by the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) for regulatory purposes -a troubling uptrend we hope will soon turn direction.
