FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
[FEMA-1273-DR]
Kansas; Amendment No. 1 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 Kansas (FEMA-1273-DR), dated May 4, 1999, and related
determinations.
EFFECTIVE DATE: May 7, 1999.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Madge Dale, Response and Recovery
Directorate, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Washington, DC 20472,
(202) 646-3772.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter
dated May 7, 1999, 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 Kansas, resulting from severe storms and tornadoes on May 3,
1999, 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 May 4, 1999, to provide
that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) may reimburse
100 percent of the costs of debris removal and emergency protective
measures (Categories A and B) under the Public Assistance program,
including direct Federal assistance effective May 4, 1999, through
May 7, 1999. This assistance may be provided to all counties
designated under the major disaster declaration. You may extend this
assistance for an additional period of time, if warranted.
Please notify the Governor of Kansas and the Federal
Coordinating Officer of this amendment to my major disaster
declaration.
