FEDERAL EMERGENCY

MANAGEMENT AGENCY

[FEMA–1224–DR]

Massachusetts; Major Disaster and

Related Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency

Management Agency (FEMA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: This is a notice of the

Presidential declaration of a major

disaster for the Commonwealth of

Massachusetts (FEMA–1224–DR), dated

June 23, 1998, and related

determinations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 23, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Madge Dale, Response and Recovery

Directorate, Federal Emergency

Management Agency, Washington, DC

20472, (202) 646–3260.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is

hereby given that, in a letter dated June

23, 1998, 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 Commonwealth of

Massachusetts, resulting from heavy rains

and flooding beginning on June 13, 1998, 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, P.L. 93–288, as amended (‘‘the Stafford

Act’’). I, therefore, declare that such a major

disaster exists in the Commonwealth of

Massachusetts.

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 and Hazard Mitigation in the

designated areas and any other forms of

assistance under the Stafford Act you may

deem appropriate. Consistent with the

requirement that Federal assistance be

supplemental, any Federal funds provided

under the Stafford Act for Hazard Mitigation

will be limited to 75 percent of the total

eligible costs. If Public Assistance is later

requested and warranted, Federal funds

provided under that program will also 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 Sharon Stoffel 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 Commonwealth of

Massachusetts to have been affected

adversely by this declared major

disaster:

Bristol, Essex, Middlesex, Norfolk, and

Suffolk Counties for Individual Assistance.

All counties within the

Commonwealth of Massachusetts are

eligible to apply for assistance under the

Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.
