FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
[FEMA-1173-DR]
South Dakota; 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 South Dakota (FEMA-1173-DR), dated April 7, 1997, and related
determinations.
EFFECTIVE DATE: April 24, 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 April 24, 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 South Dakota, resulting, from severe flooding, severe winter
storms, heavy spring rain, rapid snowmelt, high winds, and ice jams
beginning on February 3, 1997, and continuing, is of sufficient
severity and magnitude that an adjustment to the cost share for
emergency work under the Public Assistance program is warranted
under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act (``the Stafford Act'').
Therefore, I amend my declaration of April 7, 1997 to authorize
the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to reimburse at 100
percent Federal funding all eligible costs for debris removal and
emergency protective measures (Categories A and B) under the Public
Assistance program. This assistance may be provided to all counties
designated under the major disaster declaration.
This letter will confirm my announcement of April 22, 1997.
