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

DATES: Effective Date: June 29, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated June 29, 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, 
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, during the period 
of August 29 to 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, I amend my declarations of August 29, 2005, September 
1, 2005, October 22, 2005, November 19, 2005, December 21, 2005, and 
March 7, 2006, to authorize Federal funds for debris removal 
(Category A), including direct Federal assistance, under the Public 
Assistance program at 100 percent of total eligible costs through 
and including May 15, 2007. The area eligible for assistance is 
limited to existing projects in the Mississippi Sound. The Sound 
also incorporates rivers and tributaries in the southern Mississippi 
region that are part of the intra-coastal waterway system.
    Please notify Governor Barbour and the Federal Coordinating 
Officer of this amendment to my major disaster declarations.

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