    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the 
Territory of Guam, resulting from an earthquake on October 13, 2001, 
is of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant a major disaster 
declaration under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and

Act). I, therefore, declare that such a major disaster exists in the

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 Territory of Guam, 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.
    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 Louis Botta of the Federal Emergency 
Management Agency to act as the Federal Coordinating Officer for this

    I do hereby determine the Territory of Guam to have been affected
