Declaration
AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice amends the notice of a major disaster for the
State of Arkansas, (FEMA-1266-DR), dated January 23, 1999, and related
determinations.
EFFECTIVE DATE: February 1, 1999.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Madge Dale, Response and Recovery
Directorate, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Washington, DC 20472,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter
dated February 1, 1999, the President amended his previous declaration
to amend 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 Arkansas, resulting from severe storms, tornadoes, and high winds
on January 21, 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, Public Law
93-288, as amended (``the Stafford Act'').
Therefore, I amend my declaration of January 23, 1999 to
authorize 100 percent Federal funding of all eligible costs
associated with debris removal (Category A) under the Public
Assistance Program. This assistance may be provided to those areas
that you deem appropriate. I further amend my declaration to include
the provision of temporary schools for the City of Beebe in White
County. This assistance under Section 403 of the Stafford Act is
authorized at 100 percent Federal funding for eligible costs. Please
inform the Federal Coordinating Officer and the Governor of this
amendment.
Sincerely,
FEMA intends to provide the following assistance:
Counties of Saline and White for debris removal (Category A)
under the Public Assistance program at 100 percent Federal funding
for eligible costs (already designated for Individual Assistance and
Public Assistance).
Provision of temporary schools under Section 403 of the Stafford
Act for the City of Beebe, White County, at 100 percent Federal
funding.
