SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 7058(c)(1) of the Department of State, 
Foreign Operations, and Related Appropriations Act, 2015 (Div. J, Pub. 
L. 115-31), notice is hereby given that, on October 30, 2017, Secretary 
of State Rex Tillerson determined that it is in the national interest 
to make up to $5.5 million available from the Emergency Reserve Fund to 
respond to an emerging health threat that poses severe risks to human 
health in Madagascar and, if the outbreak spreads beyond Madagascar, in 
any newly affected countries.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 7058(c)(1) of the Department of 
State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 
2017 (Div. J, Pub. L. 115-31) provides that:

    Of the funds appropriated by this Act under the heading ``Global 
Health Programs'', $70,000,000 shall be made available for an 
Emergency Reserve Fund to address emerging health threats, and shall 
remain available until expended: Provided, That such funds shall be 
in addition to funds otherwise available for such purposes, and may 
be transferred to, and merged with, funds appropriated by this Act 
under the heading ``International Disaster Assistance'' for the 
purposes of this paragraph: Provided further, That such funds may 
only be made available if the Secretary of State determines and 
reports to the Committees on Appropriations that it is in the 
national interest to respond to an emerging health threat that poses 
severe threats to human health.

Exercising this authority allows funds made available in the Emergency 
Reserve Fund to be used to respond to the ongoing outbreak of plague in 
Madagascar, and in newly affected countries, if the outbreak spreads 
beyond Madagascar.

Senior Bureau Official, Bureau of Oceans and International
