SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter

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 
Federated States of Micronesia, resulting from Typhoon Mitag on 
February 26, 2002, through March 3, 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 Federated States of Micronesia.
    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 Public Assistance, including 
direct Federal assistance in the designated areas, and Hazard 
Mitigation throughout the Federated States of Micronesia, 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, including direct Federal assistance, and 
Hazard Mitigation will be limited to 75 percent of the total 
eligible costs. If Individual Assistance is later requested and 
warranted, Federal funds provided under the Individual and Family 
Grant 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.

    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 William L. Carwile III 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 Federated States 
of Micronesia to have been affected adversely by this declared major 
disaster:
