FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert M. Pesapane, Recovery

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121-5207, as amended by the Sandy
Recovery Improvement Act, Public Law 113-2, provides that FEMA will
annually adjust the threshold for assistance provided under section
422, Simplified Procedures, relating to the Public Assistance program,
to reflect changes in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers
published by the Department of Labor.
FEMA gives notice that $1,093,800 is the threshold for any Small
Project subgrant made to state, tribal, and local governments or to the
owner or operator of an eligible private nonprofit facility under
section 422 of the Stafford Act for all major disasters or emergencies
declared on or after October 1, 2025.
FEMA bases the adjustment on an increase in the Consumer Price
Index for All Urban Consumers of 2.9 percent for the 12-month period
that ended in August 2025. This is based on information released by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics at the U.S. Department of Labor on September
11, 2025.
