    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State 
of Mississippi resulting from Hurricane Katrina on August 29-October 
14, 2005, is of sufficient severity and magnitude that special 
conditions are warranted regarding the cost sharing arrangements 
concerning Federal funds provided under the Robert T. Stafford 
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121-5206 
(the Stafford Act).
    Therefore, I amend my declarations of August 29, 2005, and 
September 1, 2005, to authorize Federal funds for debris removal and 
emergency protective measures (Categories A and B), including direct 
Federal assistance, under the Public Assistance program, at 100 
percent of total eligible costs, through and including November 26, 
2005.
    Please notify Governor Barbour and the Federal Coordinating 
Officer of this amendment to my major disaster declaration.

    This cost share is effective as of the date of the President's 
major disaster declaration.
