    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State 
of Illinois resulting from tornadoes and severe storms during the 
period of March 11-13, 2006, is of sufficient severity and magnitude 
to warrant a major disaster declaration under the Robert T. Stafford

(the Stafford Act). Therefore, I declare that such a major disaster 
exists in the State of Illinois.

authorized to allocate from funds available for these purposes such 
amounts as you find necessary for Federal disaster assistance and 
administrative expenses.

throughout the State. Consistent with the requirement that Federal 
assistance be supplemental, any Federal funds provided under the 
Stafford Act for Public Assistance, Hazard Mitigation, and Other 
Needs Assistance 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.
