I have determined that the damage in

certain areas of the State of North Dakota,

resulting from severe storms, flooding, and

ground saturation beginning on March 1,

2001, and continuing, is of sufficient severity

and magnitude to warrant a major disaster

therefore, declare that such a major disaster

exists in the State of North Dakota.

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 Public

Assistance in the designated areas, Hazard

Mitigation throughout the State, and any

other forms of assistance under the Stafford

Act you may deem appropriate. 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.

Further, you are authorized to make

changes to this declaration to the extent

allowable under the Stafford Act.

Notice is hereby given that pursuant

to the authority vested in the Director of

the Federal Emergency Management

Agency under Executive Order 12148, I

hereby appoint Steven R. Emory of the

FEDERAL EMERGENCY

MANAGEMENT AGENCY

[FEMA–1334–DR]

North Dakota; Amendment No. 7 to

Notice of a Major Disaster Declaration

AGENCY: Federal Emergency

Management Agency (FEMA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: This notice amends the notice

of a major disaster for the State of North

Dakota (FEMA–1334–DR), dated June

27, 2000, and related determinations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 31, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Madge Dale, Response and Recovery

Directorate, Federal Emergency

Management Agency, Washington, DC

20472, (202) 646–3772.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is

hereby given that, in a letter dated May

31, 2001, 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 Joe M. Allbaugh, Director

of the Federal Emergency Management

Agency, as follows:

I have determined that the damage in

certain areas of the State of North Dakota,

due to damage resulting from severe storms,

flooding and ground saturation beginning on

April 5, 2000, and continuing through

August 12, 2000, is of sufficient severity and

magnitude that special conditions are

warranted regarding the cost sharing

arrangements concerning Federal funds

provided under the Robert T. Stafford

Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance

Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 (Stafford Act).

Therefore, I amend the declaration of June

27, 2000, to authorize Federal funds for

Public Assistance at 90 percent of total

eligible costs.

This adjustment to State and local cost

sharing applies only to Public Assistance

costs eligible for such adjustment under the

law. The law specifically prohibits a similar

adjustment for funds provided to States for

the Individual and Family Grant program
