Louisiana; Amendment No. 6 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-4277-DR), dated August 14, 2016, and related 
determinations.

DATES: Effective Date: September 8, 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 September 8, 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 certain areas of the State 
of Louisiana resulting from severe storms and flooding during the 
period of August 11-31, 2016, 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 14, 2016, to 
authorize Federal funds for all categories of Public Assistance at 
90 percent of total eligible costs.

[[Page 64185]]

    This adjustment to State and local cost sharing applies only to 
Public Assistance costs including 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 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 
Disasters); 97.039, Hazard Mitigation Grant.)
