ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
This notice amends the notice

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
hereby given that, in a letter dated
September 15, 2017, the President
amended the cost-sharing arrangements
regarding Federal funds provided under
the authority of the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.
(the ‘‘Stafford Act’’), in a letter to Brock
Long, Administrator, Federal Emergency
Management Agency, Department of
Homeland Security, under Executive
Order 12148, as follows:
SUMMARY:
I have determined that the damage in
certain areas of the State of Texas resulting
from Hurricane Harvey beginning on August
23, 2017, and continuing, is of sufficient
severity and magnitude that special cost
sharing arrangements are warranted
regarding Federal funds provided under the
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et
seq. (the ‘‘Stafford Act’’).
Therefore, I amend my declarations of
August 25, 2017, and September 2, 2017, to
authorize Federal funds for all categories of
Public Assistance at 90 percent of total
eligible costs, except for 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 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.
