    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the 
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands resulting from Typhoon 
Soudelor during the period of August 1-3, 2015, is of sufficient 
severity and magnitude that special cost sharing arrangements are

5121 et seq. (the ``Stafford Act'').
    Therefore, I amend my declaration of August 5, 2015, to 
authorize Federal funds for all categories of Public Assistance, 
Hazard Mitigation, and Other Needs Assistance under Section 408 of 
the Stafford Act at 90 percent of total eligible costs.
