loan secured by improved real property 

located in a special flood hazard area 

(SFHA) unless the building and any 

personal property securing the loan is 

covered by flood insurance for the life 

of the loan. See Flood Disaster 

Protection Act of 1973 (FDPA) § 102 

(Pub. L. 93–234; 42 U.S.C. 4012a). The 

Administrator of the Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA) carries out 

the National Flood Insurance Program 

(NFIP) to enable interested persons to 

purchase insurance against loss 

resulting from physical damage to or 

loss of real or personal property arising 

from flood in the United States. See 

National Flood Insurance Act of 1968

requirements of FDPA by selling making 

available special coverage for the 

lender’s entire mortgage portfolio. See 

44 CFR 62.23(l). In order sell MPPP 

policies, private insurance companies 

participating in the NFIP’s Write Your

SUMMARY: This is a notice of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that, in a letter dated 

October 7, 2017, the President issued an 

emergency declaration under the 

authority of the Robert T. Stafford 

Disaster Relief and Emergency 

Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121–5207 

(the Stafford Act), as follows: 

I have determined that the emergency 

conditions in certain areas of the State of 

Mississippi resulting from Hurricane Nate 

beginning on October 6, 2017, and 

continuing, are of sufficient severity and 

magnitude to warrant an emergency 

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 an 

emergency exists in the State of Mississippi. 

You are authorized to provide appropriate 

assistance for required emergency measures, 

authorized under Title V of the Stafford Act, 

to save lives and to protect property and 

public health and safety, and to lessen or 

avert the threat of a catastrophe in the 

designated areas. Specifically, you are 

authorized to provide assistance for 

emergency protective measures (Category B), 

including direct Federal assistance, under the 

Public Assistance program. 

Consistent with the requirement that 

Federal assistance be supplemental, any 

Federal funds provided under the Stafford 

Act for Public Assistance will be limited to 

75 percent of the total eligible costs. 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 emergency assistance 

and administrative expenses. 

Further, you are authorized to make 

changes to this declaration for the approved 

assistance to the extent allowable under the 

Stafford Act.
