    SUMMARY: This is a notice of the Presidential declaration of a major 
    disaster for the State of Oregon (FEMA-1107-DR), dated March 19, 1996, 
    and related determinations.
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: March 19, 1996.
    
    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 March 19, 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 severe storms and high wind on December 
    10-12, 1995, 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 Public Assistance 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.
    
        The time period prescribed for the implementation of section 
    310(a), Priority to Certain Applications for Public Facility and Public 
    Housing
    
    [[Page 15805]]
    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 the following areas of the State of Oregon to 
    have been affected adversely by this declared major disaster:
    
    Benton, Columbia, Douglas, Lane, Lincoln, Linn, Tillamook, and 
    Yamhill Counties for Public Assistance and Hazard Mitigation 
    Assistance.
    
    (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance No. 83.516, Disaster 
    Assistance.)
    James L. Witt,
    Director.
