FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY

[FEMA-1511-DR]


Federated States of Micronesia; Amendment No. 5 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 
Federated States of Micronesia (FEMA-1511-DR), dated April 10, 2004, 
and related determinations.

DATES: Effective July 21, 2004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Magda Ruiz, Recovery Division, Federal 
Emergency Management Agency, Washington, DC 20472,(202)646-2705.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated July 21, 2004, 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. 5121-5206 (the Stafford Act), as follows:

    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the 
Federated States of Micronesia, due to damage resulting from Typhoon 
Sudal on April 8-14, 2004, 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. 
5121-5206 (the Stafford Act).
    Therefore, I amend my declaration of April 10, 2004, to 
authorize Federal funds for Public Assistance at 90 percent of total 
eligible costs. The law specifically prohibits a similar adjustment 
for funds provided to States for the Individuals and Households 
Program and the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. These funds will 
continue to be reimbursed at 75 percent of the total eligible costs.
    This adjustment to State and local cost sharing applies only to 
Public Assistance costs eligible for such adjustment under the law.
    Please notify the President of the Federated States of 
Micronesia and the Federal Coordinating Officer of this amendment to 
my major disaster declaration.

The following Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Numbers (CFDA) 
are to be used for reporting and drawing funds: 97.030, Community 
Disaster Loans; 97.031, Cora Brown Fund Program; 97.032, Crisis 
Counseling; 97.033, Disaster Legal Services Program; 97.034, 
Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA); 97.046, Fire Management 
Assistance; 97.048, Individual and Household Housing; 97.049, 
Individual and Household Disaster Housing Operations; 97.050 
Individual and Household Program-Other Needs, 97.036, Public
