Iowa; Amendment No. 4 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 Iowa (FEMA-1998-DR), dated June 27, 2011, and related 
determinations.

DATES: Effective April 19, 2016.

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 April 19, 2016, 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 the Omaha Indian 
Reservation resulting from flooding during the period of May 25 to 
August 1, 2011, 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 June 27, 2011, to authorize 
Federal funds for all categories of Public Assistance at 90 percent 
of total eligible costs for the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska and Iowa.
    This adjustment to local cost sharing applies only to Public 
Assistance costs and direct Federal assistance eligible for such 
adjustments under the law. The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief 
and Emergency Assistance Act specifically prohibits a similar 
adjustment for funds provided for Other Needs Assistance (Section 
408), and

[[Page 27154]]

the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (Section 404). These funds will 
continue to be reimbursed at 75 percent of total eligible costs.

(The following Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Numbers (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 Unemployment 
Assistance (DUA); 97.046, Fire Management Assistance Grant; 97.048, 
Disaster Housing Assistance to Individuals and Households In 
Presidentially Declared Disaster Areas; 97.049, Presidentially 
Declared Disaster Assistance--Disaster Housing Operations for 
Individuals and Households; 97.050 Presidentially Declared Disaster 
Assistance to Individuals and Households--Other Needs; 97.036, 
Disaster Grants--Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared
