Department of Homeland Security.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: FEMA gives notice that we
are increasing the statewide per capita
threshold for recommending cost share
adjustments for disasters declared on or
after January 1, 2005, through December
31, 2005.
DATES: Effective Date: February 1, 2005.
Applicability Date: This notice applies
to major disasters declared on or after
January 1, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Magda Ruiz, Recovery Division, Federal
Emergency Management Agency,
Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646–2705.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to 44 CFR 206.47, FEMA annually
adjusts the statewide per capita
threshold that is used to recommend an
increase of the Federal cost share from
seventy-five percent (75%) to not more
than ninety percent (90%) of the eligible
cost of permanent work under section
406 and emergency work under section
403 and section 407 of the Stafford Act.
The adjustment to the threshold is based
on the Consumer Price Index for All
Urban Consumers published annually
by the U.S. Department of Labor. For
disasters declared on January 1, 2005,
through December 31, 2005, the
qualifying threshold is $110 of State
population.
We base the adjustment on an
increase in the Consumer Price Index
for All Urban Consumers of 3.3 percent
for the 12-month period ended in
December 2004. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the U.S. Department of
Labor released the information on
