SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated March 15, 2018, the President amended the cost-sharing

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 Maria during the period of 
September 16-22, 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.
    Therefore, I amend my declarations of September 20, 2017, and 
October 3, 2017, to authorize a 60-day extension of the period of 
100 percent Federal funding for debris removal and emergency 
protective measures, including direct Federal assistance.
