FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY

[FEMA-1174-DR]


North Dakota; 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 North Dakota (FEMA-1174-DR), dated April 7, 1997, and related 
determinations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 5, 1997

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Magda Ruiz, Response and Recovery 
Directorate, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Washington, DC 20472, 
(202) 646-3260.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given, in a letter to James 
L. Witt, Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, dated May 
2, 1997, the President amended the major disaster declaration to expand 
the incident type to include damage resulting from fires in the major 
disaster declaration of April 7, 1997, as follows:

    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State 
of North Dakota, resulting from severe flooding, severe winter 
storms, heavy spring rain, rapid snowmelt, high winds, ice jams, and 
ground saturation due to high water tables beginning on February 28, 
1997, and continuing, is of sufficient severity and magnitude to 
warrant expansion of the incident type to include damage resulting 
from fires in the major disaster declaration of April 7, 1997, under 
the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act 
(``the Stafford Act'').
    All other conditions specified in the original declaration 
remain the same.
    Please notify the Governor of the State of North Dakota and the 
Federal Coordinating Officer of this amendment to my major disaster 
declaration.
