Consistent with Presidential Memorandum Providing Federal Support for Governors Use of the National Guard to Respond to COVID-19, dated 1/21/2021, to assist the  Commonwealth of Massachusetts to respond to the threats and hazards caused by COVID-19, FEMA requests DoD provide essential assistance support to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  Pursuant to President Biden's Memoranda, FEMA can fully reimburse DoD for this support if DoD requests that States order National Guard Forces to perform duty to fulfill this mission assignment.  DOD will execute the MA as directed by and in coordination with FEMA, and will:

Provide essential assistance to meet the immediate threats to life resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak as authorized by Sections 403 (42 U.S.C. 5170b) of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, Public Law 93-288, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq., to support COVID-19 operations in the Commonwealth of MASSACHUSETTS.  National Guard units under state control will execute critical missions to save lives and protect the public health and safety. Eligible activities are limited to Emergency Protective Measures, as outlined in COVID-19 specific Public Assistance policy or otherwise authorized by FEMA.

Safety and security missions, not to include law enforcement activities, are authorized as part of this MA.  Effective 8/22/2020, eligible costs under this MA include pay, allowances, travel to place National Guard personnel on Title 32 orders, and per diem. Eligible expenses will also include:
1. Operating costs for DoD equipment already in DoD stocks necessary to fulfill the MA; and
2. Equipment and supplies that only DoD can purchase and that are necessary to fulfill the requirements of the MA, and pre-approved by the FEMA project Manager,
3. Lastly, additional eligible expenses authorized in writing by ORR leadership Employment costs (supplies, equipment, etc.) will be the responsibility of the state, and ineligible MA expenses may be submitted for reimbursement consideration to FEMA via a Public Assistance Project Worksheet.

DOD will deploy with appropriate command and control, support personnel, and equipment as required.  In support of this activity, the State will develop a transition plan for this support that will reflect the current mission sets, the conditions required to either terminate or transition the missions, the means of transition (i.e., contracted, other state agency, or National Guard in state active-duty), and the projected timeline to transition.  States will provide an update on the status of transition no later than 60 days prior to final date T-32 authorized via Presidential Memoranda.

All local, State, and non-DoD national assets are exhausted or do not have the capacity to meet this requirement.

 - Activation of agency command center(s), if required, must be coordinated with FEMA as a separate MA.
 - The mission-assigned agency is responsible for ensuring that all activity is properly authorized, goods are received, services are provided, and that costs are reasonable and supported by documentation maintained by the respective agency.
 - MAs shall be considered for closure after 180 days with no financial activity in accordance with FEMA CFO Bulletin #157. For MAs still operationally open, requests for additional obligations may be withheld if no invoicing, ULO Validation, or additional justification has been provided.

**The National Response Coordination Center (NRCC) and National Mission Assignment Program Office has directed the Region to mission assign HHS to provide the Federal Medical Stations (FMS).**

INITIAL REQUEST:

Request for federal medical support stations or similar equipment packages to support areas where there are higher identified cases of COVID 19 and a lower quantity of hospital bed space/care options. The three initially requested locations are Berkshire, Springfield, and Plymouth. These are areas of the Commonwealth with significantly higher cases and limited medical capacity. In addition, the state has scoped the local communities for available hotel and dorm space to support the facilities but have had limited or minimal response in the area. Identified facilities to be supported and will provide staffing would be: Berkshire Medical Center, Baystate Health, and Beth Israel Deaconess - Plymouth.

In support of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts request, as directed by and in coordination with FEMA, Health & Human Services (HHS) will provide one Federal Medical Station (FMS) in 250-bed configuration to support state operation of alternate care facilities. This support will augment State and local medical response resources for immediate and short-term medical needs. HHS will provide only the equipment associated with the FMS. Staffing, pharmacy cache and wrap around services to support alternate care facility operation will not be included in this mission.

Product inventory dispensed for FMS will flow through normal supply chain distribution.

 Program Income.  The Commonwealth of Massachusetts must pay FEMA for all program income earned by the Commonwealth that is directly generated by the use of the Field Medical Station equipment and materials provided by FEMA in the Field Medical Station under this mission assignment.  This may include, among other things, any fees collected from individuals, Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance carriers for the medical care provided to an individual that includes overhead or other charges related to the equipment and supplies provided by FEMA.  If the Commonwealth of Massachusetts gives any equipment or supplies from the Field Medical Station to a third party for that third party to provide medical services, then the Commonwealth must impose this same requirement on the third party to pay FEMA, through the Commonwealth, all income generated by the use of the Field Medical Station equipment and materials.

Additional notes from FEMA:
 MA task orders may be issued by FEMA for specific requirements, personnel, location(s), date(s), and duration of assignment(s).
 All equipment and supply purchases must be coordinated with FEMA. Prior FAO approval is necessary to ensure reimbursement.
 Agencies will be reimbursed for all eligible expenses pursuant to 44 CFR. Supporting documentation is required for reimbursement.

 The mission-assigned agency is responsible for ensuring that all activity is properly authorized, goods are received, services are provided, and that costs are reasonable and supported by documentation maintained by the respective agencies.
 MAs shall be considered for closure after 180 days with no financial activity in accordance with FEMA CFO Bulletin #157. For MAs still operationally open, requests for additional obligations may be withheld if no invoicing, ULO Validation, or additional justification has been provided.
