I have determined that the damage in

certain areas of the State of Tennessee,

resulting from severe storms and tornadoes

on March 28–29, 1997, is of sufficient

deem appropriate. 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),
