FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY

[FEMA-1272-DR]


Oklahoma; Amendment No. 1 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 Oklahoma (FEMA-1272-DR), dated May 4, 1999, and related 
determinations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 5, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Madge Dale, Response and Recovery 
Directorate, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Washington, DC 20472, 
(202) 646-3772.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated May 5, 1999, 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 Oklahoma, resulting from tornadoes and severe storms on May 3-4, 
1999, 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 May 4, 1999, to provide 
that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) may reimburse 
100 percent of the costs of debris removal and emergency protective 
measures (Categories A and B) under the Public Assistance Program, 
including direct Federal assistance effective May 4, 1999, through 
May 7, 1999. This assistance may be provided to all counties 
designated under the major disaster declaration. You may extend this 
assistance for an additional period of time, if warranted.
    Please notify the Governor of Oklahoma and the Federal 
Coordinating Officer of this amendment to my major disaster 
declaration.
