Presidential declaration of a major

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 6, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is

hereby given that, in a letter dated

January 6, 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 Florida, resulting

from severe storms, high winds, tornadoes,

and flooding beginning on December 25,

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, Public Law 93–288 as amended, (‘‘the

Stafford Act’’). I, therefore, declare that such

a major disaster exists in the State of Florida.

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 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 Paul Fay 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 Florida to have been

affected adversely by this declared

major disaster:

Hernando, Hillsborough, Osceola, and Polk

Counties for Individual Assistance.

All counties within the State of

Florida are eligible to apply for

assistance under the Hazard Mitigation

Grant Program.
