    I have determined that the emergency conditions in certain areas 
of the Commonwealth of Virginia, resulting from fires and explosions 
on September 11, 2001, is of sufficient severity and magnitude to 
warrant an emergency declaration under subsection 501(b) of the 
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 
U.S.C. 5121-5204c (the Stafford Act). My decision to make this 
declaration pursuant to subsection 501(b) of the Stafford Act is 
based upon the fact that the explosion occurred at a Federally-owned 
facility. I, therefore, declare that such an emergency exists in the 
Commonwealth of Virginia.
    In order to provide Federal assistance, you are hereby 
authorized to coordinate and direct other Federal agencies and fund 
activities not authorized under other Federal statutes and allocate 
from funds available for these purposes, such amounts as you find 
necessary for Federal emergency assistance and administrative 
expenses.
    Pursuant to this emergency declaration, you are authorized to 
provide emergency assistance as you deem appropriate under Title V 
of the Stafford Act at 100 percent Federal funding.
    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 Thomas Davies of the Federal Emergency 
Management Agency to act as the Federal Coordinating Officer for this 
declared emergency.
