hereby given that, in a letter dated April

27, 2001, the President declared a major

disaster under the authority of the

Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and

Emergency Assistance Act, 42 USC

5121, as follows:

I have determined that the damage in

certain areas of the State of Kansas, resulting

from severe storms, hail, flooding and

tornadoes beginning on April 21, 2001, 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, 42 USC 5121 (Stafford Act). I, therefore,

declare that such a major disaster exists in

the State of Kansas.

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, Public Assistance, and Hazard

Mitigation in the designated areas. 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.

Further, you are authorized to make

changes to this declaration to the extent

allowable under the Stafford Act.

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 Carlos Mitchell 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 Kansas to have been
