AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This is a notice of the Presidential declaration of a major 
disaster for the District of Columbia (FEMA-1389-DR), dated August 16, 
2001, and related determinations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 16, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Madge Dale, Readiness, Response and 
Recovery Directorate, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Washington, 
DC 20472, (202) 646-5920.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated August 16, 2001, the President declared a major disaster under 
the authority of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency 
Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121-5204c (the Stafford Act), as follows:

    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the 
District of Columbia, resulting from severe storms, flooding, and 
mudslides on August 10-12, 2001, is of sufficient severity and 
magnitude to warrant a major disaster declaration under the Robert 
T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 
5121-5204c (the Stafford Act). I, therefore, declare that such a 
major disaster exists in the District of Columbia.
    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 in the 
designated areas, Hazard Mitigation throughout the District, and any 
other forms of assistance under the Stafford Act you may deem 
appropriate. Consistent with the requirement that Federal assistance

[[Page 45043]]

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 Public Assistance is later determined to be 
warranted, Federal funds provided under that program will also 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.

    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 Thomas Davies 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 District of 
Columbia to have been affected adversely by this declared major 
disaster:

    The District of Columbia for Individual Assistance.

    The District of Columbia is eligible to apply for assistance under 
the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.
