Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands; 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
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (FEMA-1192-DR), dated
December 8, 1997, and related determinations.
EFFECTIVE DATE: March 3, 1998.
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 March 3, 1998, 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 damage in certain areas of the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), resulting from
Super Typhoon Keith on November 2-3, 1997, is of sufficient severity
and magnitude to warrant special cost sharing arrangements
concerning Federal funds provided under the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, Pub. L. 93-288, as
amended (``the Stafford Act'').
Therefore, I amend my previous declaration to authorize Federal
funds for the Individual and Family Grant Program and the Public
Assistance and Hazard Mitigation Grant Programs at 90 percent of
total eligible costs.
Please notify the Governor of the Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands and the Federal Coordinating Officer of this
amendment to my major disaster declaration.
(The following Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Numbers (CFDA)
are to be used for reporting and drawing funds: 83.537, Community
