September 23, 1997, the President

declared a major disaster under the

authority of the Robert T. Stafford

Disaster Relief and Emergency

Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.),

as follows:

I have determined that the damage in

certain areas of the State of New Jersey,

resulting from severe storms and flooding on

August 20–21, 1997, is of sufficient severity

and magnitude to warrant a major disaster

declaration under the Robert T. Stafford

Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act

(‘‘the Stafford Act’’). I, therefore, declare that

such a major disaster exists in the State of

New Jersey.

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 Individual

Assistance, Public Assistance, and Hazard

Mitigation in the designated areas. Consistent

with the requirement that Federal assistance

be supplemental, any Federal funds provided

under the Stafford Act for Public Assistance

or Hazard Mitigation will be limited to 75

percent of the total eligible costs.

The time period prescribed for the

implementation of section 310(a),

Priority to Certain Applications for

Public Facility and Public Housing

Assistance, 42 U.S.C. 5153, shall be for

a period not to exceed six months after

the date of this declaration.

Notice is hereby given that pursuant

hereby appoint Marianne C. Jackson of

areas of the State of New Jersey to have

been affected adversely by this declared

major disaster:

Atlantic County for Individual Assistance

and Public Assistance.

All counties within the State of New

Jersey are eligible to apply for assistance

under the Hazard Mitigation Grant

Program.

AGENCY: Federal Emergency

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: This notice amends the notice

of a major disaster for the State of South

Dakota, (FEMA–1173–DR), dated April

7, 1997, and related determinations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 20, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is

hereby given that, in a letter dated

October 20, 1997 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 South Dakota,

resulting from severe flooding, severe winter

storms, heavy spring rain, rapid snowmelt,

high winds, and ice jams beginning on

February 3, 1997, and continuing through

May 24, 1997, is of sufficient severity and

magnitude to warrant special cost sharing

arrangements concerning Federal funds

provided under the Robert T. Stafford

Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act

(‘‘the Stafford Act’’).

Therefore, I amend my previous

declaration to authorize Federal funds for

Public Assistance, Categories C through G, at

90 percent of total eligible costs, except for

direct Federal assistance costs and debris

removal and emergency protective measures

(Categories A and B) under the Public

Assistance program which were previously

authorized at 100 percent Federal funding.

This adjustment to State and local cost

sharing applies only to Public Assistance

costs (Categories C through G) eligible for

such adjustment under the law. The law

specifically prohibits a similar adjustment for

funds provided to the State for the Individual

and Family Grant program and Hazard

Mitigation Assistance. These funds will

continue to be reimbursed at 75 percent of

total eligible costs.
