SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION:
Notice
is
hereby
given
that,
in
a
letter
dated
August
6,
2002,
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–
5206
(Stafford
Act),
as
follows:

I
have
determined
that
the
damage
in
certain
areas
of
the
Commonwealth
of
the
Northern
Mariana
Islands,
resulting
from
Typhoon
Chata'an
on
July
4–
5,
2002,
is
of
sufficient
severity
and
magnitude
to
warrant
a
major
disaster
declaration
under
the
Robert
T.
Stafford
Disaster
Relief
and
Emergency
Assistance
Act,
42
U.
S.
C.
5121–
5206
(Stafford
Act).
I,
therefore,
declare
that
such
a
major
disaster
exists
in
the
Commonwealth
of
the
Northern
Mariana
Islands.
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
Public
Assistance
in
the
designated
areas,
and
Hazard
Mitigation
throughout
the
Commonwealth,
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.
If
Individual
Assistance
is
later
requested
and
warranted,
Federal
funds
provided
under
that
program
will
also
be
limited
to
75
percent
of
the
total
eligible
costs.
You
are
authorized
to
make
adjustments
as
warranted
to
the
non­
Federal
cost
shares
as
provided
under
the
Insular
Areas
Act,
48
U.
S.
C.
1469a(
d).
Further,
you
are
authorized
to
make
changes
to
this
declaration
to
the
extent
allowable
under
the
Stafford
Act.

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
William
L.
Carwile,
III
of
the
Federal
Emergency
Management
Agency
to
act
as
the
Federal
Coordinating
Officer
for
this
declared
disaster.
I
do
hereby
determine
the
following
area
within
the
Commonwealth
of
the
Northern
Mariana
Islands
to
have
been
affected
adversely
by
this
declared
major
disaster:

Rota
for
Public
Assistance.
All
areas
within
the
Commonwealth
of
the
Northern
Mariana
Islands
are
eligible
to

under
