FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY

[FEMA-1279-DR]


North Dakota; Amendment No. 4 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-1279-DR), dated June 8, 1999, and related 
determinations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 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 October 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 North Dakota resulting from 
severe storms, flooding, snow and ice, ground saturation, 
landslides, mudslides, and tornadoes beginning on March 1, 1999 and 
continuing through July 19, 1999, is of sufficient severity and 
magnitude that special conditions are warranted regarding the cost-
sharing arrangements concerning Federal funds provided under the 
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 
Pub.L. 93-288, as amended.
    Therefore, I amend my previous declaration to authorize Federal 
funds for Public Assistance at 90 percent of total eligible costs.
    This adjustment to State and local cost sharing applies only to 
Public Assistance costs eligible for such adjustment under the law. 
The law specifically prohibits a similar adjustment for funds 
provided to the State for the Individual and Family Grant program, 
mobile home group site development under Section 408, Temporary 
Housing, and Hazard Mitigation Assistance. These funds will continue 
to be reimbursed at 75 percent of total eligible costs.

(The following Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Numbers (CFDA) 
are to be used for reporting and drawing funds: 83.537, Community 
Disaster Loans; 83.538, Cora Brown Fund Program; 83.539, Crisis 
Counseling; 83.540, Disaster Legal Services Program; 83.541, 
Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA); 83.542, Fire Suppression 
Assistance; 83.543, Individual and Family Grant (IFG) Program; 
83.544, Public Assistance Grants; 83.545, Disaster Housing Program; 
83.548, Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.)
James L. Witt,
Director.
