SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, on July 6, 
2011, FEMA extended the cost-sharing arrangements previously set forth 
on May 5, 2011 regarding Federal funds provided 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 hereby authorize as a pilot project a 90 percent Federal cost 
share through July 13, 2011 (75 days from the date of declaration) 
for direct Federal assistance for debris removal for those areas 
within counties designated for Public Assistance that are within, or 
immediately adjacent to, areas of ``extensive'' or ``catastrophic'' 
damage as determined and depicted by the National Geospatial 
Intelligence Agency. Further, under this pilot program, FEMA shall 
obtain any applicable private insurance payments for debris removal 
to reimburse Federal costs to the fullest extent of the law. This 
authorization previously extended 45 days, until June 12, 2011.
    This adjustment to State and local cost sharing applies only to 
Public Assistance costs, limited to direct Federal assistance, for 
eligible debris removal under the pilot project. All other Public 
Assistance costs will continue to be reimbursed at 75 percent of 
total eligible costs. The law specifically prohibits a similar 
adjustment for funds provided to States for Other Needs Assistance 
(Section 408) and the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (Section 404). 
These funds will continue to be reimbursed at 75 percent of total 
eligible costs.
