SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is

hereby given that, in a letter dated

March 2, 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 Arkansas

resulting from severe storms and tornadoes

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 Arkansas.

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. Further,

you are authorized to provide reimbursement

for debris removal and emergency protective

measures under the Public Assistance

program and Hazard Mitigation. Other

assistance under Public Assistance 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 James McClanahan 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 Arkansas to have

been affected adversely by this declared

major disaster:

Clark, Cross, Greene, Hempstead, Jackson,

Lonoke, Nevada, Pulaski, and Saline

Counties for Individual Assistance, Hazard

Mitigation and Categories A and B under the

Public Assistance Program.
