ACTION: Notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that, in a letter dated 

August 4, 2011, 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 W. 

Craig Fugate, Administrator, Federal 

Emergency Management Agency, 

Department of Homeland Security, 

under Executive Order 12148, as 

follows: 

I have determined that the damage in the 

Sovereign Tribal Nation of the Havasupai 

Tribe of Arizona resulting from severe storms 

and flooding during the period of October 3– 

6, 2010, 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 

December 21, 2010, to authorize Federal 

funds for all categories of Public Assistance 

at 90 percent of total eligible costs for the 

Sovereign Tribal Nation of the Havasupai 

Tribe. 

This adjustment to the 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. 

(The following Catalog of Federal Domestic 

Assistance Numbers (CFDA) are to be used 

for reporting and drawing funds: 97.030, 

Community Disaster Loans; 97.031, Cora 

Brown Fund; 97.032, Crisis Counseling;
