SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and

Emergency Assistance Act (Act), 42

U.S.C. 5121 et seq., prescribes that we

(FEMA) must adjust annually grants

made under section 411, Individual and

Family grant Program, and Small Project

Grants made under section 422,

Simplified Procedure, relating to the

Public Assistance program, to reflect

changes in the Consumer Price Index for

All Urban Consumers published by the

Department of Labor.

We give notice that we are increasing

the maximum amount of any grant made

to an individual or family for disasterrelated serious needs and necessary

expenses under section 411 of the Act,

with respect to any single disaster, to

$14,400 for all disasters declared on or

after October 1, 2000.

government, or to the owner or operator

of an eligible private nonprofit facility,

under section 422 of the Act, to $50,600

for all disasters declared on or after

October 1, 2000.

We base the adjustments on an

increase in the Consumer Price Index

for All Urban Consumers of 3.4 percent

for the 12-month period ended in

August 2000. The Bureau of Labor

Statistics of the U.S. Department of

Labor released the information on
