FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Pauline C. Campbell, Response and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter
dated March 20, 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 Alabama resulting from severe storms, flooding, and tornadoes on
March 5-6, 1996, 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
Alabama.
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 Glenn C. Woodard 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 State of Alabama
to have been affected adversely by this declared major disaster:
Dallas, Macon, and Montgomery Counties for Individual Assistance.
