FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY

[FEMA-1292-DR]


North Carolina; Amendment No. 6 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, 2000.

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, 2000, 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 Carolina resulting 
from Hurricane Floyd beginning on September 15, 1999, and continuing 
through November 2, 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, 42 U.S.C. 
5121 et seq. (the Stafford Act).
    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

[[Page 61170]]

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
