SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is

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 Montana,

resulting from severe storms, ice jams,

snowmelt, flooding, and extreme soil

saturation on March 1, 1997, 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 (‘‘the Stafford

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

disaster exists in the State of Montana.

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. 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.

The time period prescribed for the

implementation of section 310(a),

Priority to Certain Applications for

Public Facility and Public Housing

Assistance, 42 U.S.C. 5153, shall be for

a period not to exceed six months after

the date of this declaration.

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 David P. Grier 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 Montana to have

been affected adversely by this declared

major disaster:

The counties of Broadwater, Carbon,

Dawson, Deer Lodge, Flathead, Judith Basin,

Lincoln, Meagher, Musselshell, Park, Ravalli,

Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes for

Public Assistance.

All counties within the State of

Montana are eligible to apply for

assistance under the Hazard Mitigation

Grant Program.
