the authority of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency

follows:

    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State 
of Kansas, resulting from a severe winter ice storm on January 29, 
2002, and continuing, 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. 5121-5206 
(the Stafford Act). I, therefore, declare that such a major disaster 
exists in the State of Kansas.
    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 and Public 
Assistance, including direct Federal assistance, in the designated 
areas, and Hazard Mitigation throughout the State. 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.

    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 Carlos Mitchell 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 Kansas to
