SUMMARY: This is a notice of the Presidential declaration of a major 
disaster for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (FEMA-1120-DR), dated 
June 18, 1996, and related determinations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 18, 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 June 18, 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 
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, resulting from flooding on June 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 Commonwealth of 
Pennsylvania.
    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 and Hazard 
Mitigation in the designated areas. Public 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 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 Jack Schuback 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 Commonwealth of 
Pennsylvania to have been affected adversely by this declared major 
disaster:
