(Arkansas); Amendment No. 2 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 Arkansas, (FEMA-1266-DR), dated January 23, 1999, and related 
determinations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 1, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Madge Dale, 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 February 1, 1999, the President amended his previous declaration 
to amend 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 Arkansas, resulting from severe storms, tornadoes, and high winds 
on January 21, 1999, and continuing, is of sufficient severity and 
magnitude that the provision of additional Federal assistance to 
ensure public health and safety is warranted under the Robert T. 
Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, Public Law 
93-288, as amended (``the Stafford Act'').
    Therefore, I amend my declaration of January 23, 1999 to 
authorize 100 percent Federal funding of all eligible costs 
associated with debris removal (Category A) under the Public 
Assistance Program. This assistance may be provided to those areas 
that you deem appropriate. I further amend my declaration to include 
the provision of temporary schools for the City of Beebe in White 
County. This assistance under Section 403 of the Stafford Act is 
authorized at 100 percent Federal funding for eligible costs. Please 
inform the Federal Coordinating Officer and the Governor of this 
amendment.
      Sincerely,

    FEMA intends to provide the following assistance:

    Counties of Saline and White for debris removal (Category A) 
under the Public Assistance program at 100 percent Federal funding 
for eligible costs (already designated for Individual Assistance and 
Public Assistance).
    Provision of temporary schools under Section 403 of the Stafford 
Act for the City of Beebe, White County, at 100 percent Federal 
funding.
