ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This is a notice of the Presidential declaration of a major 
disaster for the Commonwealth of Virginia (FEMA-1059-DR), dated July 1, 
1995, and related determinations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 1, 1995.

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 July 1, 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 
Commonwealth of Virginia, resulting from severe storms and flooding 
on June 22, 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 Commonwealth of Virginia.
    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 and Public 
Assistance in the designated areas. Hazard Mitigation may be 
designated at a later date, if warranted. Further, you may provide 
direct Federal assistance for emergency work at 100 percent Federal 
funding for 72 hours following declaration, if warranted. Consistent 
with the requirement that Federal assistance be supplemental, any 
Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act for Public Assistance 
and Hazard Mitigation 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 Robert J. Gunter 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 Commonwealth of 
Virginia to have been affected adversely by this declared major 
disaster:

    Greene County for Individual Assistance only;
    The City of Buena Vista and the Counties of Madison and 
Rockbridge for Individual Assistance and Public Assistance; and
    The City of Lexington for Public Assistance only.

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

    Dated: July 3, 1995.
James L. Witt,
Director.
