dated October 6, 1994, the President declared a major disaster under
the authority of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency

I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the
Republic of the Marshall Islands; resulting from high tide and wave
action on June 9-10, 1994, is of sufficient severity and magnitude
to warrant a major disaster declaration under the Robert T. Stafford

Republic of the Marshall 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 area. 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.
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 Dale Peterson of the Federal Emergency
Management Agency to act as the Federal Coordinating Officer for this
declared disaster.
