SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is

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 West Virginia,

resulting from heavy rains, wind driven rain,

high winds, flooding, and slides 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 West Virginia.

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 Robert Gunter of the

Federal Emergency Management Agency

to act as the Federal Coordinating

Officer for this declared disaster.

declared major disaster:

The counties of Braxton, Cabell, Calhoun,
