SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  Notice is hereby given that, in a letter dated January 13, 2025, the President amended the cost-sharing arrangements regarding Federal funds provided under the authority of the Robert T.

(the “Stafford Act”), in a letter to Deanne Criswell, 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 State of California resulting from wildfires and straight-line winds beginning on January 7, 2025, 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 January 8, 2025, to authorize Federal funds for debris removal and emergency protective measures, including direct Federal assistance, under the Public Assistance program at 100 percent of the total eligible costs for a period of 180 days of the State’s choosing within the first 270 days from the start of the incident period.  The State must make this selection within 270 days from the start of the incident period.
