SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated September 26, 2017, 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 
territory of the U.S. Virgin Islands resulting from Hurricane Irma 
during the period of September 5-7, 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. 
(the ``Stafford Act'').
    Therefore, I amend my declarations of September 7, 2017 and 
September 9, 2017, to authorize a 100 percent Federal cost share for 
debris removal and emergency protective measures, including direct 
Federal assistance, for 180 days from the start of the incident 
period.
