    SUMMARY: This is a notice of the Presidential declaration of a major 
    disaster for the State of Michigan (FEMA-1237-DR), dated August 5, 
    1998, and related determinations.
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: August 5, 1998.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Magda Ruiz, Response and Recovery 
    Directorate, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Washington, DC 20472,

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
    dated August 5, 1998, 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 Michigan, resulting from severe storms and high winds on July 21-
    22, 1998, is of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant a major 
    disaster declaration under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief 
    and Emergency Assistance Act, P.L. 93-288, as amended (``the 
    Stafford Act'').
        I, therefore, declare that such a major disaster exists in the 
    State of Michigan.
        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 and any other forms of assistance 
    under the Stafford Act you may deem appropriate. 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.

    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 William Powers of the Federal Emergency 
    Management Agency to act as the Federal Coordinating Officer for this
