Has Hurricane IAN been "qualified" as a disaster by congress?

Congress failed to designate Hurricane IAN as a  "qualified" disaster. It was requested by Congressmen Greg Steube and was hopefully to be signed by Congress by 3/31/2023. Has it been done? If so, I can't find it. Help?

FEMA website for Hurricane Ian qualified disaster declaration number - https://www.fema.gov/disaster/4673

Casualty Losses

Affected taxpayers in a federally declared disaster area have the option of claiming disaster-related casualty losses on their federal income tax return for either the year in which the event occurred, or the prior year. See Publication 547 for details.

Individuals may deduct personal property losses that are not covered by insurance or other reimbursements. For details, see Form 4684, Casualties and TheftsPDF and its instructions.PDF

Affected taxpayers claiming the disaster loss on their return should put the Disaster Designation, "FL Hurricane Ian" in bold letters at the top of the form. Be sure to include the FEMA disaster declaration number, DR-4673-FL, on any return. See Publication 547 for details.
