Although the SAB accepts written

comments until the date of the meeting

comments should be received in the

SAB Staff Office at least one week prior

to the meeting date so that the

comments may be made available to the

committee for their consideration.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: This is a notice of the

Presidential declaration of a major

disaster for the State of Ohio (FEMA–

and related determinations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 26, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is

hereby given that, in a letter dated

September 26, 2000, 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 et seq.),

as follows:

I have determined that the damage in

certain areas of the State of Ohio, resulting

from severe storms and a tornado on

September 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, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq. (the Stafford Act).

I, therefore, 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 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 Hazard Mitigation

will be limited to 75 percent of the total

eligible costs. If Public Assistance is later

determined to be 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.

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 Louis Botta of the

Federal Emergency Management Agency

to act as the Federal Coordinating

Officer for this declared disaster.

I do hereby determine the following

area of the State of Ohio to have been
