Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans' Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007, Public Law 110-28, FEMA is amending the cost-sharing arrangements concerning Federal funds provided under the authority of the Robert T.

The Louisiana major disaster declaration is amended as follows:
Federal funds for all categories of Public Assistance, including direct Federal assistance, for which a “request for public assistance form” has been submitted as of May 25, 2007 and Other Needs Assistance (Section 408) applied for before May 25, 2007 are authorized at 100 percent of total eligible costs.
