New Mexico; Amendment No. 2 to Notice of a Major Disaster 
Declaration

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice amends the notice of a major disaster for the 
State of New Mexico (FEMA-4079-DR), dated August 24, 2012, and related 
determinations.

DATES: This amendment was issued November 8, 2019.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dean Webster, Office of Response and 
Recovery, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street SW, 
Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-2833.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated November 8, 2019, 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 et seq. (the ``Stafford Act''), in a letter to Pete Gaynor, 
Acting Administrator, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department 
of Homeland Security, under Executive Order 12148, as follows:

    I have determined that the damage to the Santa Clara Pueblo 
resulting from flooding during the period of June 22 to July 12, 
2012, 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 the declaration of August 24, 2012, to now 
authorize Federal funds for all categories of Public Assistance at 
90 percent of the total eligible costs for the Santa Clara Pueblo.
    This adjustment to the Santa Clara Pueblo's cost sharing applies 
only to Public Assistance costs and direct Federal assistance 
eligible for such adjustments under the law. Section 404 of the 
Stafford Act, 42 U.S.C. 5170c, specifically prohibits a similar 
adjustment for funds provided for the Hazard Mitigation Grant 
Program. Thus, Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funds will continue 
to be reimbursed at 75 percent of total eligible costs.

(The following Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Numbers (CFDA) 
are to be used for reporting and drawing funds: 97.030, Community 
Disaster Loans; 97.031, Cora Brown Fund; 97.032, Crisis Counseling; 
97.033, Disaster Legal Services; 97.034, Disaster Unemployment 
Assistance (DUA); 97.046, Fire Management Assistance Grant; 97.048, 
Disaster Housing Assistance to Individuals and Households In 
Presidentially Declared Disaster Areas; 97.049, Presidentially 
Declared Disaster Assistance--Disaster Housing Operations for 
Individuals and Households; 97.050 Presidentially Declared Disaster 
Assistance to Individuals and Households--Other Needs; 97.036, 
Disaster Grants--Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared 
Disasters); 97.039, Hazard Mitigation Grant.

Pete Gaynor,
Acting Administrator, Federal Emergency Management Agency.
