Recovery Directorate, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Washington,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter
dated January 27, 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
Commonwealth of Virginia, resulting from flooding on January 19,
1996, 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
Commonwealth of Virginia.
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 in the
designated areas. Public Assistance and Hazard Mitigation 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
Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency under Executive
Order 12148, I hereby appoint Robert J. Gunter 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 Commonwealth of
Virginia to have been affected adversely by this declared major
disaster:
Alleghany, Bath, Botetourt, Shenandoah, and Warren Counties for
Individual Assistance.
