Declaration

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice amends the notice of a major disaster for the 
State of Alabama (FEMA-1971-DR), dated April 28, 2011, and related 
determinations.

DATES: Effective Date: May 25, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tod Wells, Recovery Directorate, 
Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 
20472, (202) 646-3834.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, on May 25, 
2011, 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''), as follows:

    A pilot project at 90 percent Federal cost share for debris 
removal, including direct Federal assistance, for those areas within 
counties designated for Public Assistance that are within, or 
immediately adjacent to, areas of ``extensive'' or ``catastrophic'' 
damage as determined by the Federal Coordinating Officer applying 
objective standards used by the National Geospatial-Intelligence 
Agency. This cost-share adjustment is authorized beginning April 28, 
2011, through July 12, 2011. FEMA and the State of Alabama shall 
continue to pursue any applicable private insurance payments for 
debris removal to reimburse Federal costs to the extent permitted by 
law.
    This adjustment to State and local cost sharing applies only to 
Public Assistance costs, including direct Federal assistance, for 
eligible debris removal under the pilot project. All other Public 
Assistance costs will continue to be reimbursed at 75 percent of 
total eligible costs. The law specifically prohibits a similar 
adjustment for funds provided to States for Other Needs Assistance 
(Section 408) and the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (Section 404). 
These funds will continue to be reimbursed at 75 percent of total 
eligible costs.
