(1) construction of the proposed levee would more effectively mitigate against flooding risk than an open floodplain or other flood risk reduction measures;
(2) the levee complies with federal, state, and local requirements; and
(3) the state, local, or tribal government seeking to construct the levee has provided an adequate maintenance plan meeting specified criteria.
Limits the meaning of "covered hazard mitigation land" to certain land meeting specified acquisition and deed criteria and located in:

Requires the President to ensure that adequate resources are devoted to ensuring that applicable environmental reviews under NEPA and historic preservation reviews under the National Historic Preservation Act are completed expeditiously using the shortest existing applicable process.
Authorizes the President to use additional expedited procedures for the purpose of providing assistance, such as those under the FEMA Prototype Programmatic Agreement, for:
(1) the consideration of multiple structures as a group, and
(2) an analysis of the cost-effectiveness and fulfillment of cost-share requirements for proposed hazard mitigation measures.
Authorizes the President to provide up to 25% of the estimated cost of hazard mitigation measures to an eligible state grantee before eligible costs are incurred.
Amends the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act to authorize the FEMA Administrator, until regulations are promulgated to establish criteria for approving state applications to delegate authority to administer hazard mitigation assistance, to:

Authorizes the Administrator, in coordination with states, tribal, and local governments, and owners or operators of private nonprofit facilities, to adopt alternative procedures to administer assistance for repair, restoration, and replacement of damaged facilities and debris removal.
Requires participation in such procedures to be voluntary.
Prescribes requirements for alternative procedures for repair, restoration, and replacement of damaged facilities, including:

(2) allowing grant recipients to elect to receive an in-lieu contribution, without reduction, on the basis of estimates of repairs, restoration, reconstruction, or replacement as well as management expenses; and
(3) consolidating grant recipient facilities as a single project based upon the estimates adopted under the procedures.
Prescribes requirements for alternative procedures for debris removal, including:
(1) making grants on the basis of fixed estimates to provide financial incentives and disincentives for the timely or cost effective completion if the grant recipient agrees to be responsible to pay for any actual costs exceeding the estimate;
(2) using a sliding scale for the federal share for removal of debris and wreckage based on the time it takes to complete such removal;
(3) reimbursing base and overtime wages for employees and extra hires of a grant recipient performing or administering such removal; and
(4) providing incentives to state, tribal, and local governments to have a FEMA-approved debris management plan and to have pre-qualified one or more debris and wreckage removal contractors before the date of declaration of the major disaster.
Revises requirements for the simplified procedure under which the President may make a contribution to an applicant state or local government or the owner or operator of a private nonprofit facility on the basis of a federal estimate of less than $35,000 for the cost of debris removal and repair, restoration, and replacement of damaged facilities.
Directs the President, acting through the FEMA Administrator, to report to specified congressional committees on whether an increase in the $35,000 eligibility threshold is appropriate, which report shall include consideration of cost-effectiveness, speed of recovery, capacity of grantees, past performance, and accountability measures.
Requires the President, after submitting that report, to direct the FEMA Administrator to establish immediately an appropriate eligibility threshold, and adjust it annually to reflect changes in the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-UC). Revises requirements for federal agency assistance essential to meeting immediate threats to life and property resulting from a major disaster to authorize the President, if declaring a major disaster or emergency for an area within the jurisdiction of a state, tribal, or local government, to reimburse the government for costs relating to basic pay and benefits or overtime and hazardous duty compensation for permanent employees of the government conducting emergency protective measures if the work is not typically performed by them and may otherwise be carried out by contract or agreement with private organizations, firms, or individuals.
Requires the President, in order to expedite the recovery process, to establish an expedited and unified interagency review process meeting specified criteria to ensure compliance with federal environmental and historic requirements relating to disaster recovery projects.
Directs the FEMA Administrator, as a pilot project, to establish procedures under which an applicant may request the use of alternative dispute resolution, including binding arbitration by an independent review panel, to resolve disputes relating to eligible assistance of at least $1 million, adjusted annually to reflect changes in the CPI-UC, for which the applicant has a non-federal share.
Authorizes the President to provide financial assistance to meet disaster-related child care expenses to any individual or household in a state who is adversely affected by a major disaster.
Authorizes the President, to the extent it is a cost-effective alternative to other temporary housing options, to:
(1) enter into renewable 18-month lease agreements with owners of multifamily rental property located in major disaster areas to house individuals and households eligible for assistance; and
(2) make repairs or improvement to properties under such lease agreements, to the extent necessary to serve as safe and adequate temporary housing.
Prescribes a procedure for the Chief Executive of an affected Indian tribal government to request a major disaster or emergency declaration by the President. Grants the President authority to waive or adjust a non-federal contribution (cost share) with respect to disaster assistance.
Directs the Chair of the Hurricane Sandy Rebuilding Task Force to report to specified congressional committees on:
(1) the impacts of Hurricane Sandy on local government budgets in states where a major disaster has been declared,
(2) the availability of loans from private sources to address such impacts,
(3) the availability of federal resources to address the budgetary impacts of Hurricane Sandy upon local governments,

House Democratic Caucus Summary
The House Democratic Caucus does not provide summaries of bills.
So, yes, we display the House Republican Conference’s summaries when available even if we do not have a Democratic summary available. That’s because we feel it is better to give you as much information as possible, even if we cannot provide every viewpoint.
We’ll be looking for a source of summaries from the other side in the meanwhile.
