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

SUMMARY: This is a notice of the Presidential declaration of a major 
disaster for the State of Missouri (FEMA-1256-DR), dated October 19, 
1998, and related determinations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 19, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Madge Dale, Response and Recovery 
Directorate, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Washington, DC 20472,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated October 19, 1998, 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 Missouri, resulting from severe storms and flooding on July 10-
31, 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 Missouri.
    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 and any other forms of assistance 
under the Stafford Act you may deem appropriate. Consistent with the 
requirement that Federal assistance be supplemental, any Federal 
funds provided under the Stafford Act for Hazard Mitigation will be 
limited to 75 percent of the total eligible costs. If at a later 
date Public Assistance is warranted, Federal funds provided under 
that program will also 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 Curtis D. Musgrave 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 Missouri 
to have been affected adversely by this declared major disaster: 
Jackson and St. Louis Counties and the City of St. Louis for Individual 
Assistance.
    All counties within the State of Missouri are eligible to apply for 
assistance under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.
