Georgia; Amendment No. 4 to Notice of 

a Major Disaster and Related 

Determinations 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice amends the notice 

of a major disaster for the State of 

Georgia (FEMA–1686–DR), dated March 

3, 2007, and related determinations. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 30, 2007. 

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 

March 30, 2007, the President amended 

the cost sharing arrangements regarding 

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), 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 Georgia resulting 

from severe storms and tornadoes during the 

period of March 1–2, 2007, is of sufficient 

severity and magnitude that special costsharing 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 

March 3, 2007, 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, for a period of up to 48 hours. 

This adjustment to State and local cost 

sharing applies only to Public Assistance 

costs and direct Federal assistance eligible 

for such adjustments under applicable law. 

The Stafford Act specifically prohibits a 

similar adjustment for funds provided to 

States for Other Needs Assistance (Section 

408) and the Hazard Mitigation Grant 

Program (Section 404). These funds will 

continue to be reimbursed at 75 percent of 

total eligible costs. 

This cost share is effective for the 

designated period at any time for which 

Category A and B costs are eligible 

under the President’s major disaster 

declaration.

Management Agency, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This is a notice of the 

Presidential declaration of an 

emergency for the State of Iowa (FEMA–

3275–EM), dated March 30, 2007, and 

related determinations. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 30, 2007. 

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 

March 30, 2007, the President declared 

an emergency declaration 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 impact in 

certain areas of the State of Iowa resulting 

from the record snow and near record snow 

during the period of February 28 to March 2, 

2007, is of sufficient severity and magnitude 

to warrant an emergency declaration under 

the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and 

Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121–

5206 (the Stafford Act). Therefore, I declare 

that such an emergency exists in the State of 

Iowa. 

In order to provide Federal assistance, you 

are hereby authorized to allocate from funds 

available for these purposes such amounts as 

you find necessary for Federal disaster 

assistance and administrative expenses. 

You are authorized to provide emergency 

protective measures, including snow 

removal, under the Public Assistance 

program to save lives and to protect property 

and public health and safety. Other forms of 

assistance under Title V of the Stafford Act 

may be added at a later date, as you deem 

appropriate. This emergency assistance will 

be provided for any continuous 48-hour 

period during or proximate to the incident 

period. You may extend the period of 

assistance, as warranted. This assistance 

excludes regular time costs for the subgrantees’ regular employees. Consistent with 

the requirement that Federal assistance be 

supplemental, any Federal funds provided 

under the Stafford Act for Public Assistance 

will be limited to 75 percent of the total 

eligible costs in the designated areas. Further, 

you are authorized to make changes to this 

declaration to the extent allowable under the 

Stafford Act. 

The Federal Emergency Management 

Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice that 

pursuant to the authority vested in the 

Director, Department of Homeland 

Security, under Executive Order 12148, 

as amended, Carlos Mitchell, of FEMA
