September 9, 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.

asabaliauskas on DSKBBXCHB2PROD with NOTICES
SUMMARY:
I have determined that the damage in
certain areas of the territory of the U.S. Virgin
Islands resulting from Hurricane Irma
beginning on September 6, 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 declaration of
September 7, 2017, to authorize the
following: a 90 percent Federal cost share for
debris removal, including direct Federal
assistance; and a 100 percent Federal cost
share for emergency protective measures,
including direct Federal assistance, for 30
days from the start of the incident period,
and then a 90 percent Federal cost share
thereafter.
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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The
Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) makes the final flood hazard
determinations as shown in the LOMRs
for each community listed in the table
below. Notice of these modified flood
hazard determinations has been
published in newspapers of local
circulation and 90 days have elapsed
since that publication. The Deputy
Associate Administrator for Insurance
and Mitigation has resolved any appeals
resulting from this notification.
The modified flood hazard
determinations are made pursuant to
section 206 of the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105,
and are in accordance with the National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C.
4001 et seq., and with 44 CFR part 65.
For rating purposes, the currently
effective community number is shown
and must be used for all new policies
and renewals.
The new or modified flood hazard
information is the basis for the
floodplain management measures that
the community is required either to
adopt or to show evidence of being
already in effect in order to remain
qualified for participation in the
National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP).
This new or modified flood hazard
information, together with the
floodplain management criteria required
by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that
are required. They should not be
construed to mean that the community
must change any existing ordinances
that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements.
The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or
pursuant to policies established by other
Federal, State, or regional entities.
This new or modified flood hazard
determinations are used to meet the
floodplain management requirements of
the NFIP and also are used to calculate
the appropriate flood insurance
premium rates for new buildings, and
for the contents in those buildings. The
changes in flood hazard determinations
are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
Interested lessees and owners of real
property are encouraged to review the
