FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
[FEMA-1067-DR]


U.S. Virgin Islands; 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 U.S. 
Virgin Islands, (FEMA-1067-DR), dated September 16, 1995, and related 
determinations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 20, 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 September 20, 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. 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 U.S. 
Virgin Islands, resulting from Hurricane Marilyn beginning on 
September 15, 1995 and continuing, 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).
    Therefore, I amend my September 16, 1995 major disaster 
declaration to provide that the Federal Emergency Management Agency 
(FEMA) may reimburse 100 percent of the costs of providing direct 
Federal assistance for emergency work which FEMA approves through 
September 24, 1995. You may extend this assistance for an additional 
period of time, if warranted.
    Please notify the Governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands and the 
Federal Coordinating Officer of this amendment to my major disaster 
declaration.
