FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY

[FEMA-1292-DR]


North Carolina; 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 North Carolina (FEMA-1292-DR), dated September 16, 1999, and 
related determinations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 29, 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 September 29, 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 North Carolina, resulting from Hurricane Floyd on September 15, 
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 (``the Stafford Act'').
    Therefore, I amend my declaration of September 16, 1999, to 
provide that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) may 
reimburse 90 percent of the costs of debris removal (Category A) and 
emergency protective measures (Category B) under the Public 
Assistance program, including direct Federal assistance from 
September 15, 1999 through September 18, 1999. This adjustment of 
the cost share may be provided to all counties under the major 
disaster declaration. You may extend this assistance for an 
additional period of time, if requested and warranted.
    Please notify the Governor of North Carolina and the Federal 
Coordinating Officer of this amendment to my major disaster 
declaration.
