FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY

FEMA-1266-DR(Arkansas); Amendment No. 2 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 Arkansas, (FEMA-1266-DR), dated January 23, 1999, and related determinations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 1, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Madge Dale, 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 February 1, 1999, the President amended his previous declaration to amend 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. 51521et 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 Arkansas, resulting from severe storms, tornadoes, and high winds on January 21, 1999, and continuing, is of sufficient severity and magnitude that the provision of additional Federal assistance to ensure public health and safety is warranted under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, Public Law 93-288, as amended (``the Stafford Act'').

Therefore, I amend my declaration of January 23, 1999 to authorize 100 percent Federal funding of all eligible costs associated with debris removal (Category A) under the Public Assistance Program. This assistance may be provided to those areas that you deem appropriate. I further amend my declaration to include the provision of temporary schools for the City of Beebe in White County. This assistance under Section 403 of the Stafford Act is authorized at 100 percent Federal funding for eligible costs. Please inform the Federal Coordinating Officer and the Governor of this amendment. Sincerely,

FEMA intends to provide the following assistance:

Counties of Saline and White for debris removal (Category A) under the Public Assistance program at 100 percent Federal funding for eligible costs (already designated for Individual Assistance and Public Assistance).

Provision of temporary schools under Section 403 of the Stafford Act for the City of Beebe, White County, at 100 percent Federal funding.

(The following Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Numbers (CFDA) are to be used for reporting and drawing funds: 83.537, Community Disaster Loans; 83.538, Cora Brown Fund Program; 83.539, Crisis Counseling; 83.540, Disaster Legal Services Program; 83.541, Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA); 83.542, Fire Suppression Assistance; 83.543, Individual and Family Grant (IFG) Program; 83.544, Public Assistance Grants; 83.545, Disaster Housing Program; 83.548, Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.)
