ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice amends the notice of a major disaster for the 
State of Kansas (FEMA-1699-DR), dated May 6, 2007, and related 
determinations.

DATES: Effective Date: June 19, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Peggy Miller, Disaster Assistance 
Directorate, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Washington, DC 20472, 
(202) 646-2705.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated June 19, 2007, 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, 
Administrator, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of 
Homeland Security, as follows:

    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State 
of Kansas resulting from severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding 
during the period of May 4-18, 2007, 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 
(the Stafford Act).
    Therefore, I amend my declaration of May 6, 2007, to authorize 
Federal funds for debris removal and emergency protective measures, 
including direct Federal assistance, at 100 percent Federal funding 
of total eligible costs for a period of up to 72 hours.
    This adjustment to cost-sharing applies only to Public 
Assistance costs and direct Federal assistance eligible for such

[[Page 36017]]

adjustments under applicable law. The Stafford Act prohibits a 
similar adjustment for funds provided for Other Needs Assistance 
(Section 408) and the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (Section 404). 
Those funds will continue to be reimbursed at 75 percent of total 
eligible costs.

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