FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
[FEMA-1016-DR]

 

Maryland; Major Disaster and Related Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This is a notice of the Presidential declaration of a major 
disaster for the State of Maryland (FEMA-1016-DR), dated March 16, 
1994, and related determinations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 16, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:Pauline C. Campbell, Response and 
Recovery Directorate, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Washington, 
DC 20472, (202) 646-3606.

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 Maryland, resulting from ice storms on February 8-18, 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 Maryland.
    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 reimbursement for debris removal, 
emergency protective measures, and the repair of public utilities 
under the Public Assistance program in the designated areas. Other 
assistance under Public Assistance may be added at a later date, if 
warranted. Since information regarding other damages in the State of 
Maryland is still being gathered, you may modify the event 
description and/or time period after additional information has been 
obtained, 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 described 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 give 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 Maryland 
to have been affected adversely by this declared major disaster:

    Calvert, Caroline, Charles, Dorchester, St. Mary's and Talbot 
Counties for reimbursement for debris removal, emergency protective 
measures, and the repair of public utilities under the Public 
Assistance program.

(Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance No. 83.516, Disaster 
Assistance.)

    Dated: March 17, 1994.
James L. Witt,
Director.
