Louisiana; Amendment No. 3 to Notice of a Major Disaster
Declaration
AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice amends the notice of a major disaster for the
State of Louisiana (FEMA-4611-DR), dated August 29, 2021, and related
determinations.
DATES: This amendment was issued September 24, 2021.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dean Webster, Office of Response and
Recovery, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW,
Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-2833.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter
dated September 24, 2021, 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 Deanne
Criswell, 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 Louisiana resulting from Hurricane Ida during the period of
August 26 to September 3, 2021, 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 August 29, 2021, to
authorize an extension of the period of 100 percent Federal funding
for debris removal and emergency protective measures (Categories A
and B), including direct Federal assistance, under the Public
Assistance program from 30 to 45 continuous days from the start of
the incident period.
In addition, I amend my declaration of August 29, 2021, to
authorize Federal funds for all categories of Public Assistance at
90 percent of total eligible costs, except for assistance previously
authorized at 100 percent.
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 Stafford 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.

(CFDA) are to be used for reporting and drawing funds: 97.030,
Community Disaster Loans; 97.031, Cora Brown Fund; 97.032, Crisis
Counseling; 97.033, Disaster Legal Services; 97.034, Disaster
