SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated May 26, 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 South Dakota, resulting from severe storms, flooding, and ground 
saturation due to high water tables on March 1, 1995, 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 
South Dakota.
    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. Disaster Unemployment Assistance may be provided 
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 David P. Grier, IV 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 South 
Dakota to have been affected adversely by this declared major disaster:

    The counties of Aurora, Beadle, Brookings, Brown, Brule, 
Buffalo, Butte, Campbell, Charles Mix, Clark, Codington, Davison, 
Day, Deuel, Edmunds, Faulk, Gergory, Hamlin, Hand, Hanson, Hughes, 
Hyde, Jerauld, Jones, Kingsbury, Lawrence, Lyman, McPherson, 
Marshall, Meade, Pennington, Potter, Roberts, Sanborn, Spink, 
Stanley, Sully, and Tripp for Public Assistance.
