SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated September 22, 1999, 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 et seq.), as follows:

    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State 
of Florida, resulting from Hurricane Floyd on September 13, 1999, 
and continuing is of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant a 
major disaster declaration under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster 
Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, P.L. 93-288, as amended (``the 
Stafford Act''). I, therefore, declare that such a major disaster 
exists in the State of Florida.
    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 and Hazard 
Mitigation 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 Public Assistance, 
including direct Federal assistance, or Hazard Mitigation 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.

    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 David Rodham 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 Florida 
to have been affected adversely by this declared major disaster:

    Brevard, Duval, Flagler, Indian River, Martin, Nassau, St. 
Johns, St. Lucie, and Volusia Counties for Public Assistance.

    All counties within the State of Florida are eligible to apply for 
assistance under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.
