and related determinations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 10, 1995.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated May 10, 1995, 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 Louisiana, resulting from severe storms, tornadoes and flooding 
on May 8-9, 1995 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 
Louisiana.
    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. Public 
Assistance may be added at a later date, if requested and 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. If warranted, for the first 72 hours, you are 
authorized to fund direct Federal assistance at 100 percent of the 
total eligible costs. You or your designee may extend the time 
period for this direct Federal assistance funding, if necessary.

    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 G. Clay Hollister 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 Louisiana 
to have been affected adversely by this declared major disaster:

St. Charles Parish for Individual Assistance.
