SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated August 16, 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 Vermont, resulting from excessive rain and flooding on August 4-
6, 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 Vermont.
    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, and Hazard Mitigation in the designated areas. 
Consistent with the requirement that Federal assistance be 
supplemental, any Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act for 
Public Assistance or 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 Alma Armstrong 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 Vermont 
to have been affected adversely by this declared major disaster: The 
counties of Caledonia, Chittenden, Essex, Lamoille, Orleans, and 
Washington for Individual Assistance, Public Assistance and Hazard 
Mitigation Assistance.
