                                 A BILL


 
 To provide for funding assistance under section 406 of the Robert T. 
Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5172) 
to a State or local government for the acquisition of real property for 
 the purpose of the replacement of certain public facilities based on 
reasonable reliance of cost estimates provided by the Federal Emergency 
                           Management Agency.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. ASSISTANCE FOR CERTAIN PUBLIC FACILITIES DAMAGED AS A RESULT 
              OF HURRICANE KATRINA OR HURRICANE RIT.

    The Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency shall 
make a contribution of funds under section 406 of the Robert T. 
Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5172) 
to a State or local government for the replacement of a public 
facility, if--
            (1) that facility was damaged as a result of Hurricane 
        Katrina or Hurricane Rita;
            (2) based on a cost estimate provided by the Federal 
        Emergency Management Agency to that State or local government, 
        the extent of the damage would require the replacement of that 
        facility, instead of the repair, restoration, or reconstruction 
        of that facility;
            (3) that State or local government acquired real property 
        for the purpose of the replacement of that facility based on 
        reasonable reliance on the cost estimate described under 
        paragraph (2); and
            (4) such funds would otherwise be available to that State 
        or local government for that facility in accordance with that 
        Act.
                                 <all>
