ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice amends the notice of a major disaster for the 
State of Louisiana (FEMA-1607-DR), dated September 24, 2005, and 
related determinations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 19, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Magda Ruiz, Recovery Division, Federal

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated November 19, 2005, the President amended the cost-sharing 
arrangements concerning Federal funds provided under the authority of 
the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 
U.S.C. 5121-5206 (Stafford Act), in a letter to R. David Paulison, 
Acting Director, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of 
Homeland Security, as follows:

    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State 
of Louisiana resulting from Hurricane Rita, from September 23-
November 1, 2005, is of sufficient severity and magnitude that 
special cost-sharing arrangements are warranted regarding Federal 
funds provided under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and 
Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121-5206.
    Therefore, I amend my declarations of September 24, 2005, and 
October 26, 2005, to authorize Federal funds for debris removal and 
emergency protective measures (Categories A and B), including direct 
Federal assistance, under the Public Assistance program at 100 
percent of total eligible costs, through and including January 15, 
2006. Effective January 16, 2006, the Federal funding for debris 
removal and emergency protective measures (Categories A and B), 
including direct Federal assistance, under the Public Assistance 
program, will be authorized at 90 percent of total eligible costs.
    Please notify Governor Blanco and the Federal Coordinating 
Officer of this amendment to my major disaster declaration.

    This cost share is effective as of the date of the President's 
major disaster declaration.
