Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands; Amendment No. 2 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 
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (FEMA-4235-DR), dated 
August 5, 2015, and related determinations.

DATES: Effective Date: August 24, 2015.

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 August 24, 2015, 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 W. Craig 
Fugate, 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 
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands resulting from Typhoon 
Soudelor during the period of August 1-3, 2015, 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 5, 2015, to 
authorize Federal funds for all categories of Public Assistance, 
Hazard Mitigation, and Other Needs Assistance under Section 408 of 
the Stafford Act at 90 percent of total eligible costs.

Disaster Loans; 97.031, Cora Brown Fund; 97.032, Crisis Counseling;
