SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated September 25, 2002, the President declared a major disaster under 
the authority of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency 
Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121-5206 (Stafford Act), as follows:

    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State 
of Indiana, resulting from severe storms and tornadoes on September 
20, 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. Sec. Sec.  5121-5206 
(Stafford Act). I, therefore, declare that such a major disaster 
exists in the State of Indiana.
    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 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 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 two 
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), 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 William Lokey 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 Indiana
