I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State
of South Carolina, resulting from Hurricane Floyd beginning on
September 14, 1999, 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, Pub. L.

that such a major disaster exists in the State of South Carolina.
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, Public
Assistance, including direct Federal assistance at 75 percent
Federal funding, 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 Lawrence L. Bailey of the Federal
Emergency Management Agency to act as the Federal Coordinating Officer
