FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
[FEMA-1008-DR]
California; Amendment to Notice of a Major Disaster Declaration
AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice amends the notice of a major disaster for the
State of California, (FEMA-1008-DR), dated January 17, 1994, and
related determinations.
EFFECTIVE DATE: January 25, 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 January 25, 1994, 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. 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 California, resulting from an earthquake and aftershocks on
January 17, 1994, and continuing, is of sufficient severity and
magnitude that special cost-sharing conditions are warranted 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,
except for direct Federal assistance costs for emergency work, which
are authorized at 100 percent Federal funding until January 25,
1994. This 90 percent reimbursement applies to all authorized Public
Assistance costs.
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 California and the
Federal Coordinating Officer of this amendment to my major disaster
declaration.
