Supplementary Information
Notice is hereby given that, in a letter dated September 29, 1999, 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. 51521 et seq.), in a letter to James L. Witt, Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, as follows:
I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State of North Carolina, resulting from Hurricane Floyd on September 15, 1999, and continuing, 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 (``the Stafford Act''). Therefore, I amend my declaration of September 15, 1999, to provide that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) may reimburse 90 percent of the costs of debris removal (Category A) and emergency protective measures (Category B) under the Public Assistance program, including direct Federal assistance from September 15, 1999 through September 18, 1999. This adjustment of the cost share may be provided to all counties under the emergency declaration. You may extend this assistance for an additional period of time, if requested and warranted. Please notify the Governor of North Carolina and the Federal Coordinating Officer of this amendment to my emergency declaration.
