    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State 
of South Carolina, resulting from Hurricane Bonnie on August 25, 
1998, through and including September 1, 1998 is of sufficient 
severity and magnitude to warrant a major disaster declaration under 
the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 
Pub.L. 93-288, as amended (``the Stafford Act''). I, therefore, 
declare that such a major disaster exists in the State of South 
Carolina.
    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 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.

    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 Woodard 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 South 
Carolina to have been affected adversely by this declared major 
disaster:
