Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121–5206,
for the State of Texas, declared on
September 24, 2005, due to damage
resulting from Hurricane Rita. As
required by Public Law 109–234, the
States of Texas and Louisiana, declared
major disasters on September 24, 2005,
as a result of Hurricane Rita, must be
treated equally for purposes of costshare adjustments. The Texas major

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND
SECURITY
Federal funds for debris removal and
emergency protective measures (Categories A
and B), including direct Federal assistance,
under the Public Assistance program, are
authorized at 100 percent of total eligible
costs, through and including June 30, 2006.
Effective July 1, 2006, the Federal funding for
debris removal and emergency protective
measures (Categories A and B), including

Assistance program, is authorized at 90
percent of total eligible costs. Further,
Federal funds for all categories of Public
Assistance are authorized at 90 percent of
total eligible costs, except assistance
previously approved at 100 percent.
This adjustment to State and local cost
sharing applies only to Public Assistance
costs and direct Federal assistance eligible
for such adjustments under the law. The
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act specifically
prohibits a similar adjustment for funds
provided to States for Other Needs
Assistance (Section 408) and the Hazard
Mitigation Grant Program (Section 404).
These funds will continue to be reimbursed
at 75 percent of total eligible costs.
This cost share is effective as of the date
of the President’s major disaster declaration.
