Emergency Assistance Act, Public Law 93-288, as amended, 42 U.S.C.

Administrator may make a CDL to any local government which has suffered 
a substantial loss of tax or other revenues as a result of a major 
disaster or emergency and which demonstrates a need for Federal 
financial assistance in order to perform its governmental functions. 
FEMA shall cancel repayment of all or part of a CDL to the extent that 
the Assistant Administrator for the Disaster Assistance Directorate 
determines that revenues of the local government during the full three 
fiscal year period following the disaster are insufficient, as a result 
of the disaster, to meet the operating budget for the local government, 
including additional unreimbursed disaster-related expenses for a 
municipal operating character.
