         Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a
         major rule promulgated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA),
         entitled Hurricane Floyd Property Acquisition and Relocation Grants (RIN: 3067-
         AD06). We received the rule on February 23, 2000. It was published in the Federal
         Register as an interim final rule with request for comments on February 11, 2000.
         65 Fed. Reg. 7270.

         $215 million for the acquisition and relocation of properties affected by Hurricane
         Floyd and surrounding events for hazard mitigation purposes.

         Enclosed is our assessment of FEMA's compliance with the procedural steps
         required by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule.
         Our review indicates that FEMA complied with the applicable requirements.
