Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 
et seq.), in a letter to James L. Witt, Director of the Federal 
Emergency Management Agency, as follows:

    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the 
Commonwealth of Virginia, resulting from flooding on January 19 
through February 1, 1996, is of sufficient severity and magnitude to 
warrant the expansion of the incident type to include damage 
resulting from severe storm effects to include high winds and wind 
driven rain in the major disaster declaration of January 27, 1996, 
under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency 
Assistance Act (``the Stafford Act'').
    All other conditions specified in the original declaration 
remain the same.
    Please notify the Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia and 
the Federal Coordinating Officer of this amendment to my major 
disaster declaration.
