part of a Community Disaster Loan to the extent that a determination is 
made that revenues of the local government during the three fiscal

budget of that local government because of disaster-related revenue 
losses and additional unreimbursed disaster-related revenue losses and 
additional unreimbursed disaster-related municipal operating character. 
Operating budget means actual revenues and expenditures of the local 
government as published in the official financial statements of the 
local government.
