What are Project Information Reports (PIR) for Rehabilitation Assistance under PL 84-99?
A PIR is the documentation required to obtain permission and funding to repair ICW or RIP flood control or shore protection projects damaged by an eligible event. PIRs for Rehabilitation Assistance will be prepared in accordance with EP 500-1-1. There are three principle elements of a PIR: the project was damaged by an eligible event, the damage is not routine maintenance, and the benefit-to-cost ratio is greater than 1.0. The approval authority for Rehabilitation Assistance PIRs is the Division Commander. The Division Commander may delegate approval authority to a member of the Senior Executive Service on the division staff or a permanently designated Deputy Division Engineer.
