SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated January 31, 2020, 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 Commonwealth of the 
Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) resulting from Super Typhoon Yutu 
during the period of October 24 to October 26, 2018, 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,

    Therefore, I amend my declarations of October 26, 2018 and 
February 25, 2019, to authorize Federal funds for hazard mitigation 
measures associated with sections 404 and 406 of the Stafford Act at 
100 percent of total eligible costs with the following conditions:
    1. CNMI must maintain the 2018 International Building Code 
through the closeout of the disaster; and
    2. CNMI must prioritize mitigation projects to improve 
resiliency for critical infrastructure approved by the FEMA Region 
IX Regional Administrator.

(CFDA) are to be used for reporting and drawing funds: 97.030,
