ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice amends the notice of a major disaster for the
territory of the U.S. Virgin Islands (FEMA-4340-DR), dated September
20, 2017, and related determinations.
DATES: This amendment was issued February 8, 2024.
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 February 8, 2024, 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 unprecedented and combined impact of
hurricanes Irma and Maria on the territory of the U.S. Virgin
Islands warrant special cost-sharing arrangements for 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 the declarations signed by the President on
September 7, 2017, and September 20, 2017, to authorize the
following: An increase in the Federal share to 95 percent for all
Public Assistance categories, retroactive to include all projects
currently funded at less than 100 percent; and an increase in the
Federal share to 98 percent until September 30, 2024, for all
projects utilizing Section 428 procedures. The additional 3 percent
Federal share apply only to projects for which a Fixed Cost Offer
has been accepted by September 30, 2024, subject to extension on a
per-project basis by the Administrator of the Federal Emergency
Management Agency for specific and unavoidable extenuating
circumstances. Section 428 projects not completed by December 31,
2035, revert to a 95 percent Federal cost share.
The following Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Numbers
(CFDA) are to be used for reporting and drawing funds: 97.030,
