SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is

I have determined that the damage in 

certain areas of the State of Maryland 

resulting from a severe storm and flooding 

during the period of May 27 to 28, 2018, is 

of sufficient severity and magnitude to 

warrant a major disaster declaration under 

the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and 

Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et 

seq. (the ‘‘Stafford Act’’). Therefore, I declare 

that such a major disaster exists in the State 

of Maryland. 

In order to provide Federal assistance, you 

are hereby authorized to allocate from funds 

available for these purposes such amounts as 

you find necessary for Federal disaster 

assistance and administrative expenses. 

You are authorized to provide Public 

Assistance in the designated areas and 

Hazard Mitigation throughout the State. 

Consistent with the requirement that Federal 

assistance be supplemental, any Federal 

funds provided under the Stafford Act for 

Hazard Mitigation will be limited to 75 

percent of the total eligible costs. Federal 

funds provided under the Stafford Act for 

Public Assistance also will be limited to 75 

percent of the total eligible costs, with the 

exception of projects that meet the eligibility 

criteria for a higher Federal cost-sharing 

percentage under the Public Assistance 

Alternative Procedures Pilot Program for 

Debris Removal implemented pursuant to 

section 428 of the Stafford Act. 

Further, you are authorized to make 

changes to this declaration for the approved 

assistance to the extent allowable under the 

Stafford Act.

Seminole Tribe of Florida; Amendment 

No. 3 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 Seminole 

Tribe of Florida (FEMA–4341–DR), 

dated September 27, 2017, and related 

determinations. 

DATES: This amendment was issued July

Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646–2833. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that, in a letter dated July 

12, 2018, 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 Brock 

Long, Administrator, Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, Department of 

Homeland Security, under Executive 

Order 12148, as follows: 

I have determined that the damage to the 

Seminole Tribe of Florida resulting from 

Hurricane Irma during the period of 

September 4 to October 4, 2017, 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 27, 2017, to authorize Federal 

funds for all categories of Public Assistance 

at 90 percent of total eligible costs, except for 

assistance previously approved at 100 

percent. 

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.
