March 4, 1997, 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 Ohio, resulting

from severe storms and flooding beginning

on February 28, 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 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 in the designated areas. Public

Assistance and Hazard Mitigation may be

provided at a later date, if warranted.

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 A. Skarosi of the

Federal Emergency Management Agency

to act as the Federal Coordinating

Officer for this declared disaster.

I do hereby determine the following

major disaster:
