Mississippi; Amendment No. 1 to 

Notice of a Major Disaster Declaration 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, Emergency 

Preparedness and Response Directorate, 

Department of Homeland Security. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice amends the notice 

of a major disaster for the State of 

Mississippi (FEMA–1604–DR), dated 

August 29, 2005, and related 

determinations. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 1, 2005. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Magda Ruiz, Recovery Division, Federal 

Emergency Management Agency, 

Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646–2705. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that, in a letter dated 

September 1, 2005, 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. 5121–5206 

(Stafford Act), in a letter to Michael D. 

Brown, Under Secretary for Emergency 

Preparedness and Response, Federal 

Emergency Management Agency, 

Department of Homeland Security as 

follows: 

I have determined that the damage in 

certain areas of the State of Mississippi 

resulting from Hurricane Katrina on August 

29, 2005, and continuing, 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. 5121–5206 (the Stafford Act). 

Therefore, I amend my declaration of 

August 29, 2005, to authorize Federal funds 

for debris removal and emergency protective 

measures (Categories A and B), including 

direct Federal assistance, under the Public 

Assistance program at 100 percent of total 

eligible costs, for a 60-day period retroactive 

to the date of the major disaster declaration. 

This adjustment to State and local cost 

sharing applies only to Public Assistance 

costs and direct Federal assistance eligible 

for such adjustments under the law. The law 

specifically prohibits a similar adjustment for 

funds provided to States for Other Needs 

Assistance (Section 408), and the Hazard 

Mitigation Grant Program (Section 404). 

These funds will continue to be reimbursed 

at 75 percent of total eligible costs. 

Please notify Governor Barbour and the 

Federal Coordinating Officer of this 

amendment to my major disaster declaration. 

This cost share is effective as of the date 

of the President’s major disaster declaration.
