Texas; 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 Texas (FEMA-1356-DR), dated January 8, 2001, and related 
determinations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 18, 2001.

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 January 18, 2001, 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 Texas resulting from a severe winter ice storm beginning on 
December 12, 2000, and continuing through January 15, 2001, 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, 42 U.S.C. 5121, et seq., as amended by the Disaster 
Mitigation Act of 2000, Pub. L. No. 106-390, 114 Stat. 1552 
(2000)(Stafford Act).
    Therefore, I amend my declaration of January 8, 2001, to provide 
that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) may reimburse 90 
percent of the costs of debris removal from January 8, 2001, through 
and including March 9, 2001. 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 Texas and the Federal Coordinating 
Officer of this amendment to my major disaster declaration.
