Description

This notice corrects a previous Federal Register publication regarding the dollar value thresholds for floodplain management and wetlands protection review processes for certain Public Assistance projects. The correction clarifies that the updated thresholds apply to major disasters declared by the President on or after October 1, 2025, rather than those with an incident start date on or after that date. This adjustment increases the number of disasters eligible for the inflation-adjusted thresholds, easing regulatory requirements. The notice is issued by FEMA under the Department of Homeland Security.
