SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter
dated January 17, 1994, 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 California, resulting from an earthquake and aftershocks on
January 17, 1994, 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 (``the
Stafford Act''). I, therefore, declare that such a major disaster
exists in the State of California.
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 Public
Assistance in the designated areas. Consistent with the requirement
that Federal assistance be supplemental, any Federal funds provided
under the Stafford Act for Public Assistance will be limited to 75
percent of the total eligible costs except for direct Federal
assistance costs for emergency work authorized at 100 percent
Federal funding for the first 72 hours.
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 Frank L. Kiston 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
California to have been affected adversely by this declared major
disaster:
Los Angeles County for Individual Assistance and Public
Assistance.
