SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is

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 Commonwealth of

Kentucky, resulting from severe storms,

tornadoes, and flooding 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

Commonwealth of Kentucky.

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

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),

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 Glenn Woodard of the

I do hereby determine the following
