19, 2000, the President declared a major

disaster under the authority of the

Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and

I have determined that the damage in

certain areas of the State of South Dakota,

resulting from a severe winter storm,

flooding, landslides, and mudslides on April

18–20, 2000, is of sufficient severity and

magnitude to warrant a major disaster

declaration under the Robert T. Stafford

Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance

Act, P.L. 93–288, as amended (‘‘the Stafford

Act’’). I, therefore, declare that such a major

disaster exists in the State of South Dakota.

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 Public

Assistance and Hazard Mitigation in the

designated areas 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 Public Assistance

or Hazard Mitigation will 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.

Notice is hereby given that pursuant

to the authority vested in the Director of

the Federal Emergency Management

Agency under Executive Order 12148, I

hereby appoint Steven Emory of the

Federal Emergency Management Agency

to act as the Federal Coordinating

Officer for this declared disaster.

I do hereby determine the following

areas of the State of South Dakota to

declared major disaster:

Custer, Fall River, Jackson, Pennington,

and Shannon Counties for Public Assistance.

All counties within the State of South

Dakota are eligible to apply for
