documents or comments received, go to 

https://www.regulations.gov and search 

for the docket ID. 

II. Background 

Under section 406 of the Robert T. 

Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency 

Assistance Act, as amended 1 (Stafford 

Act), the President may provide 

financial assistance to eligible 

applicants for the repair, restoration, 

reconstruction, or replacement of an 

eligible facility damaged by a major 

disaster at a minimum Federal cost 

share of 75 percent.2

The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 3

amended the Stafford Act to add the 

new provision 406(b)(3) authorizing 

FEMA’s Public Assistance (PA) program 

to increase the minimum Federal cost 

share for measures that increase 

readiness for, and resilience from, a 

major disaster.4

This interim Public Assistance 

Mitigation Cost Share Incentives Policy 

applies to PA-eligible applicants, 

including State, local, Tribal, and 

Territorial governments and certain 

private nonprofit organizations, and 

implements section 406(b)(3) by 

providing guidance regarding eligible 

measures that meet FEMA’s criteria for 

the Federal cost share increase up to 85 

percent. 

III. Maximizing the Value of Public 

Feedback 

The impacts of Federal policies tend 

to be widely dispersed on society. 

Members of the public are likely to have 

useful information, data, and 

perspectives on the benefits and 

burdens of FEMA’s existing programs 

and policies. FEMA seeks public 

feedback relevant to FEMA’s interim 

Public Assistance Mitigation Cost Share 

Incentives Policy. 

The following is meant to assist 

members of the public in formulating 

comments. This notice contains a list of 

five questions, the answers to which 

will assist FEMA in understanding how 

and why incentive measures in the 

interim policy are supported or opposed 

by stakeholders, and additional 

incentive measures that should be 

considered for inclusion in a future 

version of the policy. FEMA encourages 

public comment on these questions and 

seeks any other national-level data that 

commenters believe are relevant to 

FEMA’s interim policy review. Below 

are recommendations for commenters to 

use when making comments in response 

to the questions, so that FEMA can 

better evaluate potential changes to the 

interim policy: 

• Commenters should explain, with 

as much detail as possible, why an 

aspect of the interim policy should be 

modified and provide specific 

suggestions of ways the agency can 

better achieve its objectives.
