Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 193 / Friday, October 6, 2017 / Notices 46817 

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 in 

certain areas of the Commonwealth of Puerto 

Rico resulting from Hurricane Maria 

beginning on September 17, 2017, 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 et seq. (the 

‘‘Stafford Act’’). 

Therefore, I amend my declaration of 

September 20, 2017, to authorize a 100 

percent Federal cost share for debris removal 

and emergency protective measures, 

including direct Federal assistance, for 180 

days from the date of the declaration. 

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.
