SUMMARY: This notice amends the notice 

of a major disaster for the State of Iowa

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that, in a letter dated 

September 8, 2008, 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. 5121–5207 

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

Paulison, Administrator, Federal 

Emergency Management Agency, 

Department of Homeland Security, as 

follows: 

I have determined that the damage in 

certain areas of the State of Iowa resulting 

from severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding 

during the period of May 25 to August 13, 

2008, 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 declarations of May 

27, 2008, and June 30, 2008, to authorize 

Federal funds for all categories of Public 

Assistance at 90 percent of the total eligible 

costs. 

This adjustment cost sharing applies only 

to Public Assistance costs and direct Federal 

assistance eligible for such adjustments 

under applicable 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. 

This cost share is effective as of the 

date of the President’s major disaster 

declaration.

Assistance Numbers (CFDA) are to be used
