I have determined that the damage in

sufficient severity and magnitude that the

provision of direct Federal assistance to

ensure public health and safety is warranted

eligible debris removal costs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is

hereby given that, in a letter dated

March 6, 1997, 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 Indiana, 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 Indiana.

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 will be

added 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),
