FEDERAL EMERGENCY

MANAGEMENT AGENCY

44 CFR Part 206

Disaster Assistance; Hazard Mitigation

Grant Program

AGENCY: Federal Emergency

Management Agency (FEMA).

ACTION: Notice of waiver.

SUMMARY: This notice states FEMA’s

intent to streamline the Hazard

Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP)

process by allowing States to use a onetime effort to apply statewide eligibility

criteria to the HMGP for all disasters

declared before April 7, 1997.

DATES: October 10, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Robert F. Shea, Mitigation Directorate,

Federal Emergency Management

Agency, 500 C Street SW., Washington,

DC 20472, (202) 646–3619, (facsimile)

(202) 646–3104.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the

past, Hazard Mitigation Grant Program

(HMGP) funds were only available in

counties designated as eligible by FEMA

for Individual Assistance (IA) or Public

Assistance (PA). Under the Stafford Act

both IA and PA funds address damage

or hardship resulting from the major

disaster, but HMGP funds are intended

to reduce the risk of future damage or

hardship. As a result, FEMA has

determined that the use of HMGP funds

should not be limited only to counties

designated as eligible for IA or PA

funds. In an effort to streamline the

HMGP, FEMA will automatically

designate all counties within the

declared State as eligible to receive

HMGP funds for all disasters declared

on or after April 7, 1997.

In addition, FEMA has determined

that States declared before this time

should be permitted to take advantage of

this policy. In order to ensure

consistency in the availability of HMGP

funds among all States with open

disasters, FEMA is temporarily waiving

its regulatory requirement at 44 CFR

206.40(d) that requires a State to request

additional areas for designation within

30 days of the incident or declaration.

Therefore, this notice makes public that

States have until November 10, 1997, to

submit to their FEMA Regional Office

the open disasters for which they are

requesting the designation of additional

counties. For every disaster for which a

State is amending the designated areas,

States will have until February 9, 1998,

or 18 months after the date of the

disaster declaration, whichever is later,

to submit HMGP project applications to

the Regional Office.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS

COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 76

[CS Docket No. 95–174; FCC 96–86]

Uniform Cable Price-Setting

Methodology

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; announcement of

effective date.

SUMMARY: The Commission’s

amendments to 47 CFR 76.922, which

contain information collection

requirements, became effective on

September 4, 1997. These amendments,

which were published in the Federal

Register on March 31, 1997, relate to

implementation of the rate regulation

provisions of the 1992 Cable Act.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The amendments to 47

CFR 76.922 published at 62 FR 15127

became effective on September 4, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rob

Fream, Cable Services Bureau, (202)

418–7200.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

1. On March 14, 1997, the

Commission released a Report and

Order, a summary of which was

published in the Federal Register. See

62 FR 15121, March 31, 1997. The

Report and Order establishes rules for

an optional rate-setting methodology

that would enable a cable operator to

establish uniform rates for uniform

cable service tiers offered in multiple

franchise areas. Because the rules

imposed new information collection

requirements, the amendments to 47

CFR 76.922 could not become effective

until approved by the Office of

Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’), and

no sooner than April 30, 1997. OMB

approved these rule changes on

September 4, 1997.

2. The Federal Register summary

stated that the Commission would

publish a document announcing the

effective date of the rule changes

requiring OMB approval. The

amendments to 47 CFR 76.922 became

effective on September 4, 1997. This

publication satisfies the statement that

the Commission would publish a

document announcing the effective date

of the rule changes requiring OMB

approval.
