Alabama; Major Disaster and Related Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This is a notice of the Presidential declaration of a major 
disaster for the State of Alabama (FEMA-1104-DR), dated February 23, 
1996, and related determinations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 23, 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 February 23, 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 Alabama, resulting from a severe winter storm, ice and flooding 
on February 1-12, 1996, 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 Alabama.
    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. Hazard Mitigation 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 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 Glenn C. Woodard of the Federal Emergency 
Agency to act as the Federal Coordinating Officer for this declared 
disaster.
    I do hereby determine the following areas of the State of Alabama 
to have been affected adversely by this declared major disaster:

    Cullman, DeKalb, Jackson, Limestone, Marshall and Morgan for 
Public Assistance.

Assistance.)

Director.
