    SUMMARY: This is a notice of the Presidential declaration of a major 
    disaster for the State of Oregon (FEMA-1099-DR), dated February 9,

    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
    Pauline C. Campbell, Response and Recovery Directorate, Federal 
    Emergency Management Agency, Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-3606.
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
    dated February 9, 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 Oregon, resulting from high winds, severe storms and flooding on 
    January 26, 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 State of Oregon.
        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 and Hazard Mitigation Assistance in the designated areas. 
    I further authorize you to provide direct Federal assistance for the 
    first 72 hours at 100 percent Federal funding, should you consider 
    it warranted.
        Consistent with the requirement that Federal assistance be 
    supplemental, any Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act for 
    Public Assistance and 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 Richard A. Buck of the Federal Emergency 
    Management Agency to act as the Federal Coordinating Officer for this 
    declared disaster.
        I do hereby determine that following areas of the State of Oregon 
    to have been
