# §206.47. Cost-share adjustments.

- (a) We pay seventy-five percent (75%) of the eligible cost of permanent restorative work under section 406 of the Stafford Act and for emergency work under [section 403](/cfr/44/403.md) and section 407 of the Stafford Act, unless the Federal share is increased under this section.
- (b) We recommend an increase in the Federal cost share from seventy-five percent (75%) to not more than ninety percent (90%) of the eligible cost of permanent work under [section 406](/cfr/44/406.md) and of emergency work under [section 403](/cfr/44/403.md) and [section 407](/cfr/44/407.md) whenever a disaster is so extraordinary that actual Federal obligations under the Stafford Act, excluding FEMA administrative cost, meet or exceed a qualifying threshold of:
  - (1) Beginning in 1999 and effective for disasters declared on or after May 21, 1999, $75 per capita of State population;
  - (2) Effective for disasters declared after January 1, 2000, and through December 31, 2000, $85 per capita of State population;
  - (3) Effective for disasters declared after January 1, 2001, $100 per capita of State population; and,
  - (4) Effective for disasters declared after January 1, 2002 and for later years, $100 per capita of State population, adjusted annually for inflation using the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published annually by the Department of Labor.
- (c) When we determine whether to recommend a cost-share adjustment we consider the impact of major disaster declarations in the State during the preceding twelve-month period.
- (d) If warranted by the needs of the disaster, we recommend up to one hundred percent (100%) Federal funding for emergency work under [section 403](/cfr/44/403.md) and [section 407](/cfr/44/407.md), including direct Federal assistance, for a limited period in the initial days of the disaster irrespective of the per capita impact.
