                                SECURITY

 

PART 206_FEDERAL DISASTER ASSISTANCE FOR DISASTERS DECLARED ON OR AFTER 

NOVEMBER 23, 1988--Table of Contents

 

                    Subpart B_The Declaration Process

 

Sec. 206.47  Cost-share adjustments.



    (a) We pay seventy-five percent (75%) of the eligible cost of 

permanent restorative work under section 406 of the Stafford Act and for 

emergency work 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.
