    I have determined that the emergency conditions in the Territory 
of the U.S. Virgin Islands resulting from Hurricane Irma beginning 
on September 5, 2017, and continuing, are of sufficient severity and 
magnitude to warrant an emergency 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 
an emergency exists in the Territory of the U.S. Virgin Islands.
    You are authorized to provide appropriate assistance for 
required emergency measures, authorized under Title V of the 
Stafford Act, to save lives and to protect property and public 
health and safety, and to lessen or avert the threat of a 
catastrophe in the designated areas. Specifically, you are 
authorized to provide assistance for debris removal and emergency 
protective measures (Categories A and B), including direct Federal 
assistance, under the Public Assistance program.
    Consistent with the requirement that Federal assistance is 
supplemental, any Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act for 
Public Assistance will be limited to 75 percent of the total 
eligible costs. 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 emergency 
assistance and administrative expenses.
    Further, you are authorized to make changes to this declaration 
for the approved assistance to the extent allowable under the 
Stafford Act.

    The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice 
that pursuant to the authority vested in the Administrator, Department 
of Homeland Security, under Executive Order 12148, as amended, William 
L. Vogel, of FEMA is appointed to act as the Federal Coordinating 
Officer for this declared emergency.
