FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
[FEMA-1163-DR]


Kentucky; 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 Kentucky (FEMA-1163-DR), dated March 4, 1997, and related 
determinations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 17, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Madga Ruiz, 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 March 17, 1997, 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 State 
of Kentucky, resulting from severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding 
on March 1, 1997, and continuing, is of sufficient severity and 
magnitude that the provision of direct Federal assistance to ensure 
public health and safety is warranted under the Robert T. Stafford 
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (``the Stafford Act'').
    Therefore, I amend my declaration of March 4, 1997 to authorize 
direct Federal assistance at 100 percent Federal funding for 
eligible debris removal costs for Pendleton County. Additional areas 
may be added at a later date, if requested and warranted.
    Please notify the Governor of the State of Kentucky and the 
Federal Coordinating Officer of this amendment to my major disaster 
declaration.

Assistance.)

Director.
