SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

[Declaration of Disaster P003]


State of Arkansas

    As a result of the President's major disaster declaration for 
Public Assistance on January 6, 2003, the U.S. Small Business 
Administration is activating its disaster loan program only for private 
non-profit businesses that provide essential services of a governmental 
nature. I find that Baxter, Clay, Cleburne, Craighead, Fulton, Greene, 
Independence, Izard, Jackson, Lawrence, Newton, Poinsett, Randolph, 
Searcy, Sharp, Stone, Van Buren and White Counties in the State of 
Arkansas constitute a disaster area due to damages caused by a severe 
ice storm occurring from December 3, 2002, and continuing through 
December 4, 2002. Applications for loans for physical damage as a 
result of this disaster may be filed until the close of business on 
March 7, 2003, at the address listed below or other locally announced 
locations: Small Business Administration, Disaster Area 3 Office, 4400
