I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State
of South Dakota, resulting from severe storms, tornadoes, and
flooding, on June 4, 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,

declare that such a major disaster exists in the State of South
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, as authorized by
Executive Order 12148, as amended.
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 Peter J. Bakersky 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 South
Dakota to have been affected adversely by this declared major disaster:
