North Dakota; Amendment No. 10 to Notice of a Major Disaster 
Declaration

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice amends the notice of a major disaster for the 
State of North Dakota (FEMA-1981-DR), dated May 10, 2011, and related 
determinations.

DATES: Effective Date: August 8, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Peggy Miller, Office of Response and 
Recovery, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW., 
Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-3886.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated August 8, 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 certain areas of the State 
of North Dakota resulting from flooding during the period of 
February 14 to July 20, 2011, 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 May 10, 2011, to authorize 
Federal funds for Public Assistance at 90 percent of total eligible 
costs.
    This adjustment to State, Tribal, and local government cost 
sharing applies only to Public Assistance costs 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 the Hazard Mitigation Grant 
Program (Section 404). These funds will continue to be reimbursed at 
75 percent of total eligible costs.

are to be used for reporting and drawing funds: 97.030, Community 
Disaster Loans; 97.031, Cora
