October 14, 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 certain areas of the State 
of Florida resulting from Hurricane Michael beginning on October 7, 
2018, 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 my declaration of October 11, 2018, to 
authorize a limited period of 100 percent Federal cost share for 
debris removal, including direct Federal assistance, for a 120 hour 
(5 day) continuous period of the State of Florida's choosing, and 
then a 75 percent Federal cost share thereafter; and a limited 
period of 100 percent Federal cost share for emergency protective 
measures, including direct Federal assistance, for a 120 hour (5 
day) continuous period of the State of Florida's choosing, and then 
a 75 percent Federal cost share thereafter.
    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 Robert T. Stafford Disaster 
Relief and Emergency Assistance Act specifically prohibits a similar 
adjustment for funds provided for Other Needs Assistance (Section 
408), and the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (Section 404). These 
funds will continue to be reimbursed at 75 percent of total eligible 
costs.

are to be used for reporting and drawing funds: 97.030, Community 
Disaster Loans; 97.031, Cora Brown Fund; 97.032, Crisis Counseling;
