SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is

hereby given that, in a letter dated

January 10, 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 State of New York,

resulting from severe winter and ice storms,

high winds, and flooding beginning on

January 5, 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 State of

New York.

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. Further, you are authorized

to provide reimbursement for debris removal

and emergency protective measures under

the Public Assistance program in the

designated areas. Other forms of assistance

may be added at a later date, as you deem

appropriate. Consistent with the requirement

that Federal assistance be supplemental, any

Federal funds provided under the Stafford

Act for Public Assistance and 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 Barbara Russell 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 New York to have

been affected adversely by this declared

major disaster:

Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Jefferson, and St.

Lawrence Counties for Individual Assistance

and Categories A and B under the Public

Assistance program.

All counties within the State of New

York are eligible to apply for assistance

under the Hazard Mitigation Grant

Program.
