dated September 17, 1996, 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 Maryland, resulting from severe storms and flooding associated
with Tropical Storm Fran on September 6-9, 1996, is of sufficient
severity and magnitude to warrant a major disaster declaration under
the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act

disaster exists in the State of Maryland.

You are authorized to provide Individual Assistance and Hazard
Mitigation Grant Assistance in the designated areas. Public
Assistance may be added at a later date, if warranted. 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.
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
