SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated January 27, 1999, the President declared an emergency 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 impact in certain areas of the State 
of Michigan, resulting from the near record snow on January 2, 1999, 
and continuing, is of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant 
an emergency declaration under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster 
Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, P.L. 93-288 as amended, (``the 
Stafford Act''). I, therefore, declare that such an emergency exists 
in the State of Michigan.
    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 emergency protective measures 
under the Public Assistance program to save lives, protect public 
health and safety, and property. Other forms of assistance under 
Title V of the Stafford Act may be added at a later date, as you 
deem appropriate. You are further authorized to provide this 
emergency assistance in the affected areas for a period of 48 hours. 
You may extend the period of assistance, as warranted. Consistent 
with the requirement that Federal assistance be supplemental, any 
Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act for Public Assistance 
will be limited to 75 percent of the total eligible costs.
    Further, you are authorized to make changes to this declaration 
to the extent allowable under the Stafford Act.

    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 Lawrence L. Bailey of the Federal 
Emergency Management Agency to act as the Federal
