FEMA can accept gifts, donations, or bequests to support its earthquake program. FEMA must set rules for deciding which gifts to accept. Those rules must guard against anything that looks unfair or compromises integrity.
(a) Authority: In furtherance of this chapter's purposes, the Administrator* of the Federal Emergency Management Agency may accept and use bequests, gifts, or donations of services, money, or property, despite section 1342 of title 31.
(b) Criteria: The Administrator must establish, by regulation, criteria for deciding whether to accept bequests, gifts, or donations of services, money, or property. Those criteria must consider whether accepting the bequest, gift, or donation would reflect unfavorably on the Director's ability to carry out their responsibilities in a fair and objective manner, or would compromise the integrity, or the appearance of integrity, of the Program* or any official involved in administering it.
