FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY

[FEMA-1039-DR]


Alaska; 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 of Alaska (FEMA-1039-DR), dated September 13, 1994, and related 
determinations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 16, 1995.

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 February 16, 1995, 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. 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 Alaska, resulting from severe storms and flooding on August 8, 
1994 through September 15, 1994, is of sufficient severity and 
magnitude that special cost-sharing conditions are warranted under 
the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act 
(``the Stafford Act'') for the Pubic Assistance program.
    Therefore, I amend my previous declaration to authorize Federal 
funds for Public Assistance to be provided at 85 percent of the 
eligible costs.
    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 Alaska and the 
Federal Coordinating Officer of this amendment to my major disaster 
declaration.
