-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice amends the notice of a major disaster for the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated March 7, 2006, 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 (Stafford Act), in a letter to R. David Paulison, 
Acting Director, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of 
Homeland Security, as follows:

    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State 
of Mississippi resulting from Hurricane Katrina, from August 29-
October 14, 2005, is of sufficient severity and magnitude that 
special cost-sharing arrangements are warranted regarding Federal 
funds provided under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and 
Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121-5206.
    Therefore, in order to support the completion of previously 
approved plans for the removal of debris covered by the Stafford 
Act, I amend my declarations of August 29, 2005, September 1, 2005, 
October 22, 2005, November 19, 2005, and December 21, 2005, to 
authorize Federal funds for debris removal and emergency protective 
measures (Categories A and B), including direct Federal assistance, 
under the Public Assistance program at 100 percent of total eligible 
costs through and including June 30, 2006. Effective July 1, 2006, 
the Federal funding for debris removal and emergency protective 
measures (Categories A and B), including direct Federal assistance, 
under the Public Assistance program will be authorized at 90 percent 
of total eligible costs.
    Please notify Governor Barbour and the Federal Coordinating 
Officer of this amendment to my major disaster declaration.

    This cost share is effective as of the date of the President's 
major disaster declaration.
