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 Wyoming, resulting from a severe winter storm on October 5-9, 
1998, is of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant a major 
disaster 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 a major disaster 
exists in the State of Wyoming.
    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 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 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 Steve L. Olsen of the Federal Emergency 
Management Agency to act as the Federal Coordinating Officer for this 
declared disaster.
    I do hereby determine the following area of the State of Wyoming to 
have been affected adversely by this declared major disaster:

Niobrara County for Public Assistance.

    All counties within the State of Wyoming are eligible to apply for 
assistance under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.
