SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated October 3, 2017, the President amended the cost-sharing 
arrangements 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''), in a letter to Brock Long, 
Administrator, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of 
Homeland Security, under Executive Order 12148, as follows:

    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the 
territory of the U.S. Virgin Islands resulting from Hurricane Maria 
beginning on September 16, 2017, and continuing, 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 et seq. (the ``Stafford Act'').
    Therefore, I amend my declaration of September 20, 2017, to 
authorize a 100 percent Federal cost share for debris removal and 
emergency protective measures, including direct Federal assistance, 
for 180 days from the start of the incident period, and a 90 percent 
Federal cost share thereafter.
