    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State 
of Illinois, resulting from flooding beginning on April 18, 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 
Illinois.
    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 
assistance for debris removal (Category A) and emergency protective 
measures (Category B) under 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 Robert R. Colangelo of the Federal 
Emergency Management Agency to act as the Federal Coordinating Officer 
for this declared disaster.
