# §310.35. Under what circumstances would emergency FFP be available for Computerized Tribal IV-D Systems?

- (a) **Conditions that must be met for emergency FFP.** OCSE will consider waiving the approval requirements for acquisitions in emergency situations, such as natural or man-made disasters, upon receipt of a written request from the comprehensive Tribal IV-D agency. In order for OCSE to consider waiving the approval requirements in [§ 310.25](/cfr/45/310.25.md) of this part, the following conditions must be met:
  - (1) The comprehensive Tribal IV-D agency must submit a written request to OCSE prior to the acquisition of any ADP equipment or services. The written request must be sent by registered mail and include:
    - (i) A brief description of the ADP equipment and/or services to be acquired and an estimate of their costs;
    - (ii) A brief description of the circumstances which resulted in the comprehensive Tribal IV-D agency's need to proceed prior to obtaining approval from OCSE; and
    - (iii) A description of the harm that will be caused if the comprehensive Tribal IV-D agency does not acquire immediately the ADP equipment and services.
  - (2) Upon receipt of the information, OCSE will, within 14 working days of receipt, take one of the following actions:
    - (i) Inform the comprehensive Tribal IV-D agency in writing that the request has been disapproved and the reason for disapproval; or
    - (ii) Inform the comprehensive Tribal IV-D agency in writing that OCSE recognizes that an emergency exists and that within 90 calendar days from the date of the initial written request under [paragraph (a)(1)](#a-1) of this section the comprehensive Tribal IV-D agency must submit a formal request for approval which includes the information specified at [§ 310.25](/cfr/45/310.25.md) of this title in order for the ADP equipment or services acquisition to be considered for OCSE's approval.
- (b) **Effective date of emergency FFP.** If OCSE approves the request submitted under [paragraph (a)(2)](#a-2) of this section, FFP will be available from the date the comprehensive Tribal IV-D agency acquires the ADP equipment and services.
