[[Page 431]]

under section 403 and section 407 of the Stafford Act, unless the 
Federal share is increased under this section.
    (b) We recommend an increase in the Federal cost share from seventy-
five percent (75%) to not more than ninety percent (90%) of the eligible 
cost of permanent work under section 406 and of emergency work under 
section 403 and section 407 whenever a disaster is so extraordinary that 
actual Federal obligations under the Stafford Act, excluding FEMA 
administrative cost, meet or exceed a qualifying threshold of:
    (1) Beginning in 1999 and effective for disasters declared on or 
after May 21, 1999, $75 per capita of State population;
    (2) Effective for disasters declared after January 1, 2000, and 
through December 31, 2000, $85 per capita of State population;
    (3) Effective for disasters declared after January 1, 2001, $100 per 
capita of State population; and,
    (4) Effective for disasters declared after January 1, 2002 and for 
later years, $100 per capita of State population, adjusted annually for 
inflation using the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers 
published annually by the Department of Labor.
    (c) When we determine whether to recommend a cost-share adjustment 
we consider the impact of major disaster declarations in the State 
during the preceding twelve-month period.
    (d) If warranted by the needs of the disaster, we recommend up to 
one hundred percent (100%) Federal funding for emergency work under 
section 403 and section 407, including direct Federal assistance, for a 
limited period in the initial days of the disaster irrespective of the 
per capita impact.
