SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter
dated May 13, 1994, 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 Maine, resulting from flooding and ice jams on April 15, 1994,
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
Maine.
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. Consistent
with the requirement that Federal assistance be supplemental, any
Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act for Public Assistance
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 Edward A. Thomas of the Federal Emergency
Management Agency to act as the Federal Coordinating Officer for this
declared disaster.
I do hereby determine the following area of the State of Maine to
have been affected adversely by this declared major disaster:
Aroostook County for Individual Assistance.
