    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State 
of California, resulting from a severe freeze on December 20-28, 
1998, is of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant a major 
disaster declaration under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief

Stafford Act''). I, therefore, declare that such a major disaster 
exists in the State of California.
    You are authorized to provide Disaster Unemployment Assistance 
in the designated areas and any other forms of assistance under the 
Stafford Act you may deem appropriate. 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 
Disaster Unemployment Assistance and administrative expenses in the 
designated areas.
    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 Michael Lowder 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 
California to have been affected adversely by this declared major
