Florida; Amendment No. 1 to Notice of an Emergency Declaration

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice amends the notice of an emergency for the State of 
Florida (FEMA-3560-EM), dated June 25, 2021, and related 
determinations.

DATES: This amendment was issued July 2, 2021.

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 July 2, 2021, 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 Deanne Criswell, 
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 State 
of Florida resulting from the Surfside Building Collapse beginning 
on June 24, 2021, 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 the declaration of June 25, 2021, to 
authorize a 100 percent Federal cost share for debris removal and 
emergency protective measures, including direct Federal assistance, 
under the Public Assistance program for a continuous period of 30 
days beginning June 24, 2021.
    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 Stafford Act specifically 
prohibits a similar adjustment for funds provided for Other Needs 
Assistance (Section 408). These funds will continue to be provided 
at 75 percent federal share.

(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,
