                Factors Considered When Evaluating a Governor's Request for
                Individual Assistance for a Major Disaster; Correction
                AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.
                ACTION: Correcting amendment.
                -----------------------------------------------------------------------
                SUMMARY: On March 21, 2019, the Federal Emergency Management Agency
                (FEMA) published a final rule revising its regulations to update the
                factors it uses to determine whether to recommend provision of
                Individual Assistance during a major disaster. That final rule
                inadvertently failed to remove a table. This document corrects that
                error.
                DATES: Effective on January 14, 2020.
                FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mark Millican, FEMA, Individual
                Assistance Division, 500 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472-3100,
                (phone) 202-212-3221 or (email) [email protected].
                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 21, 2019, the Federal Emergency
                Management Agency (FEMA) published a final rule (84 FR 10632) revising
                44 CFR part 206 to comply with section 1109 of the Sandy Recovery
                Improvement Act of 2013 (Pub. L. 113-2). As part of the revisions, FEMA
                adopted a fiscal capacity analysis that uses the total taxable
                resources of a State instead of the population numbers and size
                categories in the table at the end of 44 CFR 206.48(b). As FEMA
                discussed in the preamble to the final rule (84 FR 10632, at 10646),
                FEMA intended to remove the outdated table, but the amendatory
                instruction did not include this specific direction. This document
                corrects that error.
                List of Subjects in 44 CFR Part 206
                 Administrative practice and procedure, Coastal zone, Community
                facilities, Disaster assistance, Fire prevention, Grant programs--
                housing and community development, Housing, Insurance,

                recordkeeping requirements.
                [[Page 2039]]
                 Accordingly, 44 CFR part 206 is corrected by making the following
                correcting amendment:
                PART 206--FEDERAL DISASTER ASSISTANCE
                0
