    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.

    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 As FEMA discussed in the preamble to the final rule (84 FR 10632, at 10646), FEMA intended to remove the outdated table, but the amendatory instruction did not include this specific direction.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.
