The Federal Emergency Management Agency denied that it has frozen reimbursement payments to public broadcasters in response to CPB’s request that the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (docket 1:25-cv-00740-TJK) intervene (see 2503140060). A docket entry Monday said that the court had denied CPB's motion for a temporary restraining order. “The Agency is taking no such action -- there has been no withholding of funding,” said FEMA in a filing opposing CPB's request Saturday. “Rather, the Agency has modified its process for the review of payment requests.” The “hold toggle” lets the agency manually review reimbursement requests before sending them out, FEMA said. “The Agency will process payment requests and approve them for payment as appropriate, simply with an added level of internal controls to ensure that payment requests are reviewed prior to payment being released.”
