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

SUMMARY: This notice amends the notice of a major disaster for the

2017, and related determinations.

DATES: This amendment was issued May 18, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dean Webster, Office of Response and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated May 18, 2018, 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 Brock Long, 
Administrator, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of 
Homeland Security, under Executive Order 12148, as follows:

    I have determined that the damage in the territory of the U.S. 
Virgin Islands resulting from Hurricane Irma during the period of 
September 5-7, 2017, 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 declarations of September 7, 2017, 
September 9, 2017, September 26, 2017, and March 15, 2018, to 
authorize the following: 90 percent Federal funding for Other Needs 
Assistance under section 408 of the Stafford Act and all categories 
of Public Assistance, except for assistance previously approved at 
100 percent; a 120-day extension of the 100 percent Federal cost 
share for debris removal and emergency protective measures, with the 
extension of emergency protective measures being limited to 
Sheltering and Temporary Essential Power (STEP); and a waiver of the 
non-Federal cost share for hazard mitigation measures authorized by 
section 404 of the Stafford Act, provided hazard mitigation grant 
funding is prioritized toward protecting Federal investments in the 
territory.
