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

1995, and related determinations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 1, 1995.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated September 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 State 
of Oklahoma, resulting from tornadoes, severe storms and flooding 
beginning on July 21 through and including August 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 Oklahoma.
    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 and Hazard 
Mitigation Assistance 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 Peter L. Smith 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 Oklahoma 
to have been affected adversely by this declared major disaster:
    The counties of Alfalfa, Blaine, Caddo, Cotton, Custer, Grant, 
Jackson, Kay, Major, Oklahoma, Tillman, Washita and Woods for Public 
Assistance and Hazard Mitigation Assistance.
