-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This is a notice of the Presidential declaration of an 
emergency for the State of Indiana (FEMA-3135-EM), dated January 15, 
1999, and related determinations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 15, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Madge Dale, Response and Recovery 
Directorate, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Washington, DC 20472,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated January 15, 1999, the President declared an emergency 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 impact in certain areas of the State 
of Indiana, resulting from the record/near record snow on January 1, 
1999, and continuing, is of sufficient severity and magnitude to 
warrant an emergency 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 an 
emergency 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 emergency assistance and 
administrative expenses.
    You are authorized to provide emergency protective measures 
under the Public Assistance program to save lives, protect public 
health and safety, and property. Other forms of assistance under 
Title V of the Stafford Act may be added at a later date, as you 
deem appropriate. You are further authorized to provide this 
emergency assistance in the affected areas for a period of 48 hours. 
You may extend the period of assistance, as warranted. Consistent 
with the requirement that Federal assistance be supplemental, any 
Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act for Public Assistance 
will be limited to 75 percent of the total eligible costs.

    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 Lawrence L. Bailey of the Federal 
Emergency Management Agency to act as the Federal Coordinating Officer 
for this emergency.
    I do hereby determine the following areas of the State of Indiana 
to have been affected adversely by this emergency:
