Note
: Congress recently voted on a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 stimulus package the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA, P.L.117-2). It includes stimulus checks for individuals, expanded unemployment benefits, and funding for vaccines, state and local governments, schools and child care. The ARPA marks a huge win for the Biden administration during its first 50 days in office.
Before the ink is dry, the administration has already pivoted to the second phase of the Biden agenda: Build Back Better. While ARPA was largely a relief bill, the next phase will be about rebuilding the economy, starting with a
mult
itrillion-dollar
plan that includes infrastructure, green energy and incentives to bolster domestic manufacturing. It will also build upon the individual relief provided in the first bill and seek to make those provisions permanent and will likely be paid for by corporate tax rate increases, a repeal of oil and gas tax breaks and increases in taxes on the wealthy.

The Sny Island Levee Drainage District (Sny) appreciates this opportunity to provide comment on
FEMA s proposal to amend 44 CFR 206.48(a)(l) by revising the estimated cost of the assistance factor it considers when recommending a major disaster declaration. Too often of late we have observed Federal Agencies wanting to use processes other than rulemaking as intended by the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) for regulatory purposes -a troubling uptrend we hope will soon turn direction.
