Louisiana; Amendment No. 11 to 

Notice of a Major Disaster Declaration 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, Department of 

Homeland Security. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice amends the notice 

of a major disaster for the State of 

Louisiana (FEMA–1607–DR), dated 

September 24, 2005, and related 

determinations. 

DATES: Effective October 26, 2005.

Magda Ruiz, Recovery Division, Federal 

Emergency Management Agency, 

Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646–2705. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that, in a letter dated 

October 26, 2005, the President 

amended the cost-sharing arrangements 

concerning Federal funds provided 

under the authority of the Robert T. 

Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency 

Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121–5206 

(Stafford Act), in a letter to R. David 

Paulison, Acting Director, Federal 

Emergency Management Agency, 

Department of Homeland Security, as 

follows: 

I have determined that the damage in 

certain areas of the State of Louisiana 

resulting from Hurricane Rita, beginning on 

September 23, 2005, and continuing, 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–

5206 (the Stafford Act). 

Therefore, I amend my declaration of 

September 24, 2005, to authorize Federal 

funds for Public Assistance at 90 percent of 

total eligible costs, except 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 law 

specifically prohibits a similar adjustment for 

funds provided to States 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. 

Please notify the Governor of Louisiana 

and the Federal Coordinating Officer of this 

amendment to my major disaster declaration. 

This cost share is effective as of the 

date of the President’s major disaster 

declaration.
