[FEMA-1033-DR]

 

Georgia; Major Disaster and Related Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice amends the notice of a major disaster for the 
State of Georgia (FEMA-1033-DR), dated July 7, 1994, and related 
determinations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 13, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Pauline C. Campbell, Response and Recovery Directorate, Federal 
Emergency Management Agency, Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-3606.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated October 13, 1994, the President amended the cost-sharing 
arrangements concerning the Federal funds provided under the authority 
of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act 
(42 U.S.C. 5121 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 Georgia, resulting from torrential rain, high wind, tornadoes and 
flooding resulting from Tropical Storm Alberto on July 3 through 
July 25, 1994, is of sufficient severity and magnitude that special 
conditions are warranted regarding the cost-sharing arrangements 
concerning Federal funds provided under the Robert T. Stafford 
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (``the Stafford Act'') 
for the Public Assistance program.
    Therefore, I amend my previous declaration to authorize Federal 
funds for Public Assistance at 90 percent of total eligible costs. 
This 90 percent reimbursement applies to all authorized Public 
Assistance costs, including debris removal to eliminate immediate 
threats to public health and safety, emergency work to save lives 
and protect public health and safety, and repair or reconstruction 
of uninsured public and private non-profit facilities.
    This adjustment to State and local cost sharing applies only to 
Public Assistance costs eligible for such adjustment under the law. 
The law specifically prohibits a similar adjustment for funds 
provided to States for the Individual and Family Grant program. 
These funds will continue to be reimbursed at 75 percent of total 
eligible costs.
    Please notify the Governor of the State of Georgia and the 
Federal Coordinating Officer of this amendment to my major disaster 
declaration.
