(k) Decision—(1) Time limits. The 

panel will make every effort to issue a 

written decision within 60 calendar 

days after the panel declares the hearing 

closed pursuant to paragraph (h)(4) of 

this section, or, if a hearing was not 

requested, within 60 calendar days 

following the receipt of FEMA’s 

response to the request for arbitration. A 

decision of the panel may take longer 

than 60 calendar days if the arbitration 

involves a highly technical or complex 

matter. 

(2) Form and content. The decision of 

the panel will be in writing and signed 

by each member of the panel. The panel 

will issue a reasoned decision that 

includes a brief and informal discussion 

of the factual and legal basis for the 

decision. 

(3) Finality of decision. A decision of 

the majority of the panel shall constitute 

a final decision, binding on all parties. 

Final decisions are not subject to further 

administrative review. Final decisions 

are not subject to judicial review, except 

as permitted by 9 U.S.C. 10. 

(4) Delivery of decision. Notice and 

delivery of the decision will be by 

facsimile or other electronic means and 

by regular mail to each party or its 

authorized representative or counsel. 

(l) Costs. FEMA will pay the fees 

associated with the arbitration panel, 

the costs of any expert retained by the 

panel, and the arbitration facility costs, 

if any. The expenses for each party, 

including attorney’s fees, representative 

fees, copying costs, costs associated 

with attending any hearing, or any other 

fees not listed in this paragraph will be 

paid by the party incurring such costs. 

(m) Guidance. FEMA may issue 

separate guidance as necessary to 

supplement this section.
