Permanent work | 18 (2) Exceptions. (i) The recipient may impose lesser deadlines for the completion of work under paragraph (c)(1) of this section if considered appropriate. (ii) Based on extenuating circumstances or unusual project requirements beyond the control of the subrecipient, the recipient may extend the deadlines under paragraph (c)(1) of this section for an additional 6 months for debris clearance and emergency work and an additional 30 months, on a project by project basis for permanent work.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Current regulatory text still reflects ordinary FEMA project completion limits and project-by-project extensions rather than a blanket December 31, 2035 deadline, reinforcing that the promised extension remains unresolved without enactment.

Assessments

Public state: pending As of 2026-10-07 · verified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved. unknown A for effort

The verified commitment is an outcome promise that covered Puerto Rico disaster recovery project deadlines would be extended to December 31, 2035. Verified evidence shows Hernandez introduced H.R. 10441 and that the bill text contains the promised extension, which supports material effort by the candidate. However, the verified evidence only establishes introduction of legislation, not passage, enactment, or implementation of the extension. Because an attempt without enactment does not fulfill an outcome promise and no deadline has expired, the outcome remains unresolved.
