I have determined that the damage in the

Georges on September 19–22, 1998, is of

sufficient severity and magnitude that special

conditions are warranted regarding the cost

sharing arrangements for Federal funds

Act, P.L. 93–288, as amended (‘‘the Stafford

Act’’).

Therefore, I concur with your

recommendation to amend my declaration of

September 24, 1998 to authorize Federal

funds for the Individual and Family Grant,

Public Assistance, and Hazard Mitigation

Grant Programs at 90 percent of total eligible

costs.

Please notify the Federal Coordinating
