13.6—Reimbursement of State and local governments.
(a)
State and local governments providing
services, personnel, equipment, or facilities to
the affected metropolitan area pursuant to § 13.5
may forward to the Assistant Secretary a bill for
reimbursement for the personel, equipment,
facilities, and services utilized in meeting the extraordinary protective
need. The bill shall be in accordance with the
format in Appendix II of this part. The Assistant
Secretary will reimburse only those costs directly
related to the extraordinary protective need
including personnel and equipment costs resulting
from assignments made to assist in providing
security at an otherwise qualified location in
connection with the arrival, departure, or during
the visit of a foreign dignitary. Reimbursable
costs will also include the costs for establishing
both fixed posts at a qualified location and
protective perimeters outside of a qualified
location when it is clearly established to the
satisfaction of the Assistant Secretary that such
assignments were necessary to assure the safety of
the qualified location. Overhead and
administrative costs associated with an
extraordinary protective need are reimbursable as
either a flat 18 percent of the total
extraordinary protective need costs, or, if such
costs can be clearly segregated from routine
police costs, on a dollar-for-dollar basis. The
jurisdiction seeking such reimbursement may select
either method but may not use both. For the
purposes of reimbursement the Assistant Secretary
will, in all cases, determine when the
extraordinary protective need began and
terminated.
