FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
[FEMA-1163-DR]
Kentucky; 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 Kentucky (FEMA-1163-DR), dated March 4, 1997, and related
determinations.
EFFECTIVE DATE: March 17, 1997.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Madga Ruiz, Response and Recovery
Directorate, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Washington, DC 20472,
(202) 646-3260.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter
dated March 17, 1997, 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 Kentucky, resulting from severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding
on March 1, 1997, and continuing, is of sufficient severity and
magnitude that the provision of direct 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 March 4, 1997 to authorize
direct Federal assistance at 100 percent Federal funding for
eligible debris removal costs for Pendleton County. Additional areas
may be added at a later date, if requested and warranted.
Please notify the Governor of the State of Kentucky and the
Federal Coordinating Officer of this amendment to my major disaster
declaration.

Director.
