ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This is a notice of the Presidential declaration of a major 
disaster for the State of Minnesota (FEMA-1078-DR), dated January 5, 
1996, and related determinations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 5, 1996.

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 January 5, 1996, 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 Minnesota, resulting from a severe ice storm on October 23-24, 
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 Minnesota.
    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. Individual 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 
and Hazard Mitigation 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 Dante Roveda 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 Minnesota 
to have been affected adversely by this declared major disaster:

Big Stone, Stevens, Swift, and Traverse Counties for Public 
Assistance and Hazard Mitigation.
