authority of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency 
Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121-5206 (the Stafford Act), as follows:

    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State 
of Maryland, resulting from a tornado on April 28, 2002, 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 (Stafford Act). I, 
therefore, declare that such a major disaster exists in the State of 
Maryland.
    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. Consistent with the requirement that Federal 
assistance be supplemental, any Federal funds provided under the 
Stafford Act for the Individual and Family Grant program will be 
limited to 75 percent of the total eligible costs. If Public 
Assistance and Hazard Mitigation are later requested and warranted, 
Federal funds provided under these programs 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),
