SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  The notice is hereby given that,

cost-sharing arrangements concerning Federal funds provided 
under the authority of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief 
and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 USC 5121, as amended by the 
Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, Pub. L. No. 106-390, 114 
Stat. 1552 (2000), 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 Oklahoma resulting from a severe 
	winter ice storm beginning on December 25, 2000, 
	and continuing through January 10, 2001, is of 
	sufficient severity and magnitude that the provision
	of additional Federal assistance to ensure public 
	health and safety is warranted under the Robert T. 
	Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance 
	Act, 42 USC 5121(Stafford Act).

	Therefore, I amend the major disaster declaration of 
	January 5, 2001, to provide that the Federal Emergency 
	Management Agency (FEMA) may reimburse 100 percent 
	of the costs of debris removal through July 6, 2001.
	This adjustment of the cost share may be provided to
	all counties under the major disaster declaration. 
	You may extend this assistance for an additional
	period of time, if requested and warranted.

	Please notify the Governor of Oklahoma and the Federal
	Coordinating Officer of this amendment to my major
	disaster declaration.
