FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY

[FEMA-1355-DR]


Oklahoma; Amendment No. 9 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-1355-DR), dated January 5, 2001, and related 
determinations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 13, 2001.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated March 13, 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. 5121, as amended by the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, Public 
Law 106-390, 114 Stat. 1552 (2000), in a letter to Joe M. Allbaugh, 
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 a severe winter ice storm beginning on 
December 25, 2000, and continuing through January 10, 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 (Stafford Act).
    Therefore, I amend the major disaster declaration of January 5, 
2001, to provide that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) 
may reimburse 100 percent of the costs of debris removal through 
July 6, 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 Oklahoma and the Federal 
Coordinating Officer of this amendment to my major disaster 
declaration.
