# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

                    Notice is hereby given that, in a letter dated July 17, 2023, 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 Deanne Criswell, Administrator, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Homeland Security, under Executive Order 12148, as follows:                

                        I have determined that the damage in the State of Vermont resulting from severe storms and flooding beginning on July 7, 2023, and continuing, is of sufficient severity and magnitude that special cost sharing arrangements are warranted regarding Federal funds provided under the Robert T.

Therefore, I amend my declaration of July 14, 2023, to authorize Federal funds for emergency protective measures, including direct Federal assistance at 100 percent of the total eligible costs for a continuous 30-day period of the State's choosing within the first 120 days from the start of the incident period.
