SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated May 23, 2018, the President amended the cost-sharing arrangements

    I have determined that the damage in the Commonwealth of Puerto 
Rico resulting from Hurricane Maria during the period of September 
17 to November 15, 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

Act'').
    Therefore, I amend my declarations of September 20, 2017, 
September 26, 2017, November 2, 2017, and February 23, 2018, to 
authorize a 90-day extension of the period of 100 percent Federal

the period of 100 percent Federal funding for emergency temporary 
power support and Sheltering and Temporary Essential Power (STEP).
