FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:Pauline C. Campbell, Response and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated March 16, 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 Delaware, resulting from severe ice storms and flooding on 
February 8-February 18, 1994, 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 Delaware.
    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 in the 
designated areas. You may modify the event time period, if 
warranted. 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 Jack Schuback 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 Delaware 
to have been affected adversely by this declared major disaster.
    Kent and Sussex Counties for Public Assistance.

James L. Witt,
Director.
