SUMMARY: This is a notice of the Presidential declaration of a major

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated October 19, 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 Georgia, resulting from severe weather, heavy rains, flooding, 
high winds and tornadoes on October 1, 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 Georgia.
    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 in the 
designated areas. Public Assistance may be added at a later date, 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 Glenn C. Woodard 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 Georgia 
to have been affected adversely by this declared major disaster:
    Bryan, Camden, Chatham, Decatur, Grady and Tift Counties for 
Individual Assistance.
