The State representative decides on the subsidy rate for each repair operation, based on the maximum subsidy rates provided for in article R. 1613-9 and the assessment of eligible damage. If the sum of grants that may be awarded to local authorities or groupings exceeds the total amount mentioned in article R. 1613-17, the State representative sets the subsidies within the limit of this amount and according to the size of the local authority or grouping, its financial capacity and the extent of the damage.
In the opposite case, the State representative sets the amount of the subsidies by applying the maximum rates mentioned in article R. 1613-9 to the amount of the damage.
The beneficiary local authorities and groupings are notified of the subsidies by order of the State representative.
