follows:
I have determined that damage in certain
areas of the State of Texas, resulting from an
extreme wildfire threat beginning on
December 1, 2005, and continuing, is of
sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant
a major disaster declaration under the Robert
T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121–5206
(Stafford Act). Therefore, I declare that such
a major disaster exists in the State of Texas.
In order to provide Federal assistance, you
are hereby authorized to allocate from funds
available for these purposes such amounts as
you find necessary for Federal disaster
assistance and administrative expenses.
You are authorized to provide Individual
Assistance for losses sustained in the
designated areas on or after December 1,
2005, Hazard Mitigation assistance
throughout the State, and assistance under
the Public Assistance program (Category B)
for emergency protective measures
implemented on or after December 27, 2005,
for eligible costs (as determined by FEMA)
resulting from wildfires that pose a
significant threat to life and property in any
county, or portion thereof, to be designated
by you in consultation with the State, for as
long as such areas are threatened by an
urgent danger of such wildfires, and such
other forms of assistance under the Stafford
Act as you may deem appropriate.
Designation of specific counties eligible for
reimbursement will be made on a weekly
basis for the duration of the incident, and
those designated for approved
reimbursements will be based on measurable
weather and fire conditions that identify
areas threatened by an urgent danger from
wildfires.

Notice of Adjustment of Statewide Per
Capita Threshold for Recommending a
Cost Share Adjustment
Federal Emergency
Management Agency, 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, 2006, through December
31, 2006.
DATES: Effective Date: January 30, 2006.
Applicability Date: This notice applies
to major disasters declared on or after
January 1, 2006.
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 Robert T.
Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance 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, 2006, through
December 31, 2006, the qualifying
threshold is $114 of State population.
We base the adjustment on an
increase in the Consumer Price Index
for All Urban Consumers of 3.4 percent
for the 12-month period ended in
December 2005. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the U.S. Department of
Labor released the information on
