SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated May 13, 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 Maine, resulting from flooding and ice jams on April 15, 1994, 
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 (``the Stafford Act''). I, 
therefore, declare that such a major disaster exists in the State of 
Maine.
    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. 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 Edward A. Thomas of the Federal Emergency 
Management Agency to act as the Federal Coordinating Officer for this 
declared disaster.
    I do hereby determine the following area of the State of Maine to 
have been affected adversely by this declared major disaster:

Aroostook County for Individual Assistance.
