    SUMMARY: This is a notice of the Presidential declaration of a major 
    disaster for the State of North Dakota (FEMA-1279-DR), dated June 8,

    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Madge Dale, Response and Recovery 
    Directorate, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Washington, DC 20472,

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
    dated June 8, 1999, 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 North Dakota, resulting from severe storms, flooding, snow and 
    ice, ground saturation, landslides, mudslides, and tornadoes 
    beginning on March 1, 1999 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, 
    Public Law 93-288, as amended (``the Stafford Act''). I, therefore, 
    declare that such a major disaster exists in the State of North 
    Dakota.
        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 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.
        Further, you are authorized to make changes to this declaration 
    to the extent allowable under the Stafford Act.
    
        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 Lesli A Rucker 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 North 
    Dakota to have been affected adversely by this declared major disaster:
