annually adjust the threshold for assistance provided under section

owner or operator of an eligible private nonprofit facility under 
section 422 of the Stafford Act for all major disasters or emergencies

    FEMA bases the adjustment on an increase in the Consumer Price 
Index for All Urban Consumers of 1.1 percent for the 12-month period 
that ended in August 2016. This is based on information released by the 
Bureau of Labor Statistics at the U.S. Department of Labor on September 
16, 2016.
