receive Federal assistance ( i.e., Federal

grants) State and local officials and

officials of eligible private nonprofit

organizations who have a responsibility

for response to a major disaster and for

the restoration of facilities in the

aftermath of such events must provide

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is

hereby given that, in a letter dated

March 7, 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 Tennessee

resulting from heavy rain, tornadoes,

flooding, hail, and high winds 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 Tennessee.

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 requested and

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 Edward Thomas 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 Tennessee to have

been affected adversely by this declared

major disaster:

The counties of Dyer, Obion, McNairy,

Madison, Carroll, Cheatham and Montgomery

for Individual Assistance.
