Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 3 / Wednesday, January 6, 2021 / Notices
• Hawaii County, HI (DR 4366, an
additional $23,720,000). Extraordinary
circumstance: At the time of the December
2019 allocation FEMA Public Assistance (PA)
estimates were still being discussed with
state officials. The PA estimate at the time of
the 2019 allocation was just $1.5 million
with local match (‘‘unmet need’’) of
$378,000. The updated data from FEMA is
that DR 4366 has $96 million in Category C
to G needs with a $24 million match
requirement which substantially increases
unmet needs.
• Northern Marianas (DR 4396 and DR
4404, an additional $10,378,000).
Extraordinary circumstance: FEMA’s
Permanent Housing Construction (PHC)
program is seldom activated by FEMA so it
requires a special consideration for HUD’s
calculation of unmet needs. In HUD’s
December 3rd allocation announcement we
had reduced the housing needs estimate for
the Northern Marianas based on a FEMA
early estimate that 455 homes would be
repaired or replaced by the PHC program and
thus would not need CDBG–DR assistance.
At the time, the program was in its early
implementation and the number of homes
served was expected to change. Due to the
unusual nature of this FEMA program, HUD
requested from FEMA in May 2020 a revised
estimate of how many homes would be
served. That revised FEMA PHC estimate is
that 300 homes are now expected to be
served by PHC instead of the previously
estimated 455 homes. This reduction in the
FEMA PHC leads to an increase in the
Northern Marianas unmet CDBG–DR need
estimate by 155 homes.
• Texas (DR 4466, an additional
$14,769,000). Extraordinary circumstance:
This disaster was declared on October 4th
and the data used for the December 3rd
allocation had been extracted from FEMA’s
systems on November 15, 2019. In general,
HUD’s experience is that FEMA data is most
complete for the purpose of calculating
CDBG–DR unmet needs approximately 90
days after a disaster declaration. DR 4466 was
the only disaster in 2019 that had been
declared within 90 days of the November
15th data extraction. For this reason, HUD
requested a refresh of the FEMA data for DR
4466 which identified 252 additional homes
with serious damage than had been identified
in the prior allocation leading to the
increased estimate of need.
• Puerto Rico (DR 4473, $36,424,000).
Extraordinary circumstance: On December
28, 2019, Puerto Rico experienced a major
disaster (DR 4473) that has continued for
some months with continuing after-shocks.
This is a disaster occurring in both 2019 and
2020. Because it initially occurred in 2019 it
is eligible for funding from Public Law 116–
20. However, this disaster is on-going. FEMA
had closed the application period for the IHP
program but due to a serious after-shock on
May 2, 2020, FEMA reopened the application
period for this disaster. This allocation is
based on the data before FEMA reopened the
application period.
