FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
[FEMA-3146-EM]
North Carolina; Amendment No. 1 to Notice of an Emergency
Declaration
AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice amends the notice of an emergency for the State of
North Carolina (FEMA-3146-EM), dated September 15, 1999, and related
determinations.
EFFECTIVE DATE: September 29, 1999.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Madge Dale, Response and Recovery
Directorate, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Washington, DC 20472,
(202) 646-3772.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter
dated September 29, 1999, the President amended the cost-sharing
arrangements concerning Federal funds provided under the authority of
the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42
U.S.C. 51521 et seq.), in a letter to James L. Witt, Director of the
Federal Emergency Management Agency, as follows:
I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State
of North Carolina, resulting from Hurricane Floyd on September 15,
1999, and continuing, is of sufficient severity and magnitude that
the provision of additional Federal assistance to ensure public
health and safety is warranted under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster
Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (``the Stafford Act'').
Therefore, I amend my declaration of September 15, 1999, to
provide that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) may
reimburse 90 percent of the costs of debris removal (Category A) and
emergency protective measures (Category B) under the Public
Assistance program, including direct Federal assistance from
September 15, 1999 through September 18, 1999. This adjustment of
the cost share may be provided to all counties under the emergency
declaration. You may extend this assistance for an additional period
of time, if requested and warranted.
Please notify the Governor of North Carolina and the Federal
Coordinating Officer of this amendment to my emergency declaration.
