§ 206.8

by the Administrator, Assistant Administrator for the Disaster Operations
Directorate, or the Regional Administrator, does not apply to nor shall it affect the authority of any Federal agency to provide disaster assistance independent of the Stafford Act.
(g) In carrying out the purposes of
the Stafford Act, any Federal agency
may accept and utilize, with the consent of the State or local government,
the services, personnel, materials, and
facilities of any State or local government, agency, office, or employee.
Such utilization shall not make such
services, materials, or facilities Federal in nature nor make the State or
local government or agency an arm or
agent of the Federal Government.
(h) Any Federal agency charged with
the administration of a Federal assistance program may, if so requested by
the applicant State or local authorities, modify or waive, for a major disaster, such administrative conditions
for assistance as would otherwise prevent the giving of assistance under
such programs if the inability to meet
such conditions is a result of the major
disaster.
