SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated September 10, 2017, the President issued a major disaster 
declaration under the authority of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster 
Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq. (the 
``Stafford Act''), as follows:

    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State 
of Florida resulting from Hurricane Irma beginning on September 4, 
2017, and continuing, is of sufficient severity and magnitude to 
warrant a major disaster declaration under the Robert T. Stafford 
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq. 
(the ``Stafford Act''). Therefore, I declare that such a major 
disaster exists in the State of Florida.
    In order to provide Federal assistance, you are hereby 
authorized to allocate from funds available for these purposes such 
amounts as you find necessary for Federal disaster assistance and 
administrative expenses.
    You are authorized to provide Individual Assistance, assistance 
for debris removal and emergency protective measures (Categories A 
and B) under the Public Assistance program in the designated areas, 
Hazard Mitigation throughout the State, and any other forms of 
assistance under the Stafford Act that you deem appropriate subject 
to completion of Preliminary Damage Assessments (PDAs). Direct 
Federal assistance is authorized.
    Consistent with the requirement that Federal assistance is 
supplemental, any Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act for 
Public Assistance, Hazard Mitigation, and Other Needs Assistance 
will be limited to 75 percent of the total eligible costs. For a 
period of 30 days from the start of the incident period, you are 
authorized to fund assistance for emergency protective measures, 
including direct Federal assistance, at 100 percent of the total 
eligible costs. Federal funding for debris removal will remain at 75 
percent.
    Further, you are authorized to make changes to this declaration 
for the approved assistance to the extent allowable under the 
Stafford Act.

    The time period prescribed for the implementation of section 
310(a), Priority to Certain Applications for Public Facility and Public 
Housing Assistance, 42 U.S.C. 5153, shall be for a period not to exceed 
six months after the date of this declaration.
    The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice 
that pursuant to the authority vested in the Administrator, under 
Executive Order 12148, as amended, Justo Hern[aacute]ndez, of FEMA is
