FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
[FEMA-1033-DR]
Georgia; Major Disaster and Related Determinations
AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice amends the notice of a major disaster for the
State of Georgia (FEMA-1033-DR), dated July 7, 1994, and related
determinations.
EFFECTIVE DATE: October 13, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Pauline C. Campbell, Response and Recovery Directorate, Federal
Emergency Management Agency, Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-3606.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter
dated October 13, 1994, the President amended the cost-sharing
arrangements concerning the Federal funds provided under the authority
of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act
(42 U.S.C. 5121 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 Georgia, resulting from torrential rain, high wind, tornadoes and
flooding resulting from Tropical Storm Alberto on July 3 through
July 25, 1994, is of sufficient severity and magnitude that special
conditions are warranted regarding the cost-sharing arrangements
concerning Federal funds provided under the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (``the Stafford Act'')
for the Public Assistance program.
Therefore, I amend my previous declaration to authorize Federal
funds for Public Assistance at 90 percent of total eligible costs.
This 90 percent reimbursement applies to all authorized Public
Assistance costs, including debris removal to eliminate immediate
threats to public health and safety, emergency work to save lives
and protect public health and safety, and repair or reconstruction
of uninsured public and private non-profit facilities.
This adjustment to State and local cost sharing applies only to
Public Assistance costs eligible for such adjustment under the law.
The law specifically prohibits a similar adjustment for funds
provided to States for the Individual and Family Grant program.
These funds will continue to be reimbursed at 75 percent of total
eligible costs.
Please notify the Governor of the State of Georgia and the
Federal Coordinating Officer of this amendment to my major disaster
declaration.

Assistance.)
James L. Witt,
Director.
