Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 153 / Wednesday, August 9, 2006 / Notices
to 190 LEAs, for a total of $916 million.
Approximately 40 new SS/HS grants
were awarded in FY–2005. These grants
are providing support for rural, tribal,
suburban, and urban communities that
include diverse racial and ethnic groups
across the country.
In compliance with the Government
Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of
1993, grantees are required to collect
and report data that measure the results
of the programs implemented with this
grant. Specifically, grantees are required
to collect and report information on the
following GPRA indicators:
1. The percentage of SS/HS grant sites
that experience a decrease in the
number of violent incidents at schools.
2. The percentage of SS/HS grant sites
that experience a decrease in substance
abuse.
3. The percentage of SS/HS grant sites
that improve school attendance.
4. The percentage of SS/HS grant sites
that increase mental health services to
students and families.
In addition to GPRA measures, the
Federal Evaluation Work Group of the
Safe School/Healthy Students (SS/HS)
Initiative national evaluation,
comprised of Federal officials
representing the U.S. Departments of
Education, Health and Human Services,
and Justice, determined that information
on changes in school climate is also
required to provide a direct basis of
comparison for performance with
subsequent cohorts of grantees.
Although GPRA measures monitor
changes in individual outcomes among
students, GPRA measures have been
found to provide an incomplete metric
of performance in terms of observed
changes in overall ‘‘school climate.’’
The SS/HS National Evaluation Team
proposes to adopt the staff version of the
California Healthy Kids Survey for this
purpose. This instrument contains 43
multiple choice questions that are used
to obtain school staff perceptions of
student behavior and attitudes, school
programs and policies, and the overall
school climate as they relate to student
well-being and learning. It deals with
such issues as truancy, safety,
harassment, substance abuse, school
connectedness and learning supports.
The instrument, modified slightly to
form the SS/HS School Climate Survey,
will track changes in school climate in
schools targeted for program services
under the SS/HS Initiative. In the
absence of the School Climate Survey,
there would be no common, cross-site
measure of performance across SS/HS
initiative grantees. In practice, the
School Climate Survey will be
administered electronically among
approximately 67,500 local educational
system employees. These employees
will be encouraged to log onto a Web
site during each year that their school
benefits from the grant to answer
questions concerning their perception of
student behavior and safety at the
school.
The burden estimate for the annual
survey is as follows:

OMB Number: 1660–NW17.
Abstract: Data products and reports
exist that contain fragmented or
estimated information about firefighter
demographics, but there is no single
reference source today that aggregates
this data to provide an accurate profile
of firefighters on a per department basis.
The USFA 1 receives many requests for

program as the new Directorate stands up.
Ultimately this data collection will be transferred to
the Preparedness Directorate.

the date of this declaration.
The Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice that
pursuant to the authority vested in the
Director, under Executive Order 12148,
as amended, Jesse F. Munoz, of FEMA
is appointed to act as the Federal
Coordinating Officer for this declared
disaster.
I do hereby determine the following
areas of the State of Ohio to have been
affected adversely by this declared
major disaster:
SUMMARY:
This is a notice of the
Presidential declaration of a major
disaster for the State of Ohio (FEMA–
1656–DR), dated August 1, 2006, and
related determinations.
DATES: Effective Date: August 1, 2006.
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
August 1, 2006, the President declared
a major disaster under the authority of
the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief
and Emergency Assistance Act, 42
U.S.C. 5121–5206 (the Stafford Act), as
follows:
Ashtabula, Geauga, and Lake Counties for
Individual Assistance.
All counties within the State of Ohio are
eligible to apply for assistance under the
Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.
(The following Catalog of Federal Domestic
Assistance Numbers (CFDA) are to be used
for reporting and drawing funds: 97.030,
Community Disaster Loans; 97.031, Cora
Brown Fund Program; 97.032, Crisis

Households Disaster Housing Operations;
97.050 Individuals and Households
Program—Other Needs, 97.036, Public

Grant Program.)
I have determined that the damage in
certain areas of the State of Ohio resulting
from severe storms, straight line winds, and
flooding beginning on July 27, 2006, and
continuing, is of sufficient severity and
magnitude to warrant a major disaster
declaration under the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance
Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121–5206 (the Stafford Act).
Therefore, I declare that such a major disaster
exists in the State of Ohio.
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 Individual
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 Hazard Mitigation
and Other Needs Assistance will be limited
to 75 percent of the total eligible costs. If
Public Assistance is later requested and
warranted, Federal funds provided under
that program will also 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.

Under Secretary for Federal Emergency
Management and Director of FEMA.
