SUMMARY: FEMA gives notice that the countywide per capita impact 
indicator under the Public Assistance program for disasters declared on

DATES: Effective on October 1, 2016, and applies to major disasters

Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-3834.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In assessing damages for area designations 
under 44 CFR 206.40(b), FEMA uses a countywide per capita indicator to 
evaluate the impact of the disaster at the county level. FEMA will 
adjust the countywide per capita impact indicator under the Public 
Assistance program to reflect annual changes in the Consumer Price 
Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Department of Labor.
    FEMA gives notice of an increase in the countywide per capita 
impact indicator to $3.61 for all disasters declared on or after 
October 1, 2016.
    FEMA bases the adjustment on an increase in the Consumer Price 
Index for All Urban Consumers of 1.1 percent for the 12-month period 
that ended in August 2016. The Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. 
Department of Labor released the information on September 16, 2016.
