SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  Notice is hereby given that, 
in a letter dated October 17, 2000, 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 Michigan, resulting 
	from severe storms and flooding on September 
	10-11, 2000, 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. � 5121
	et seq. (the Stafford Act).  I, therefore, 
	declare that such a major disaster exists in 
	the State of Michigan.

	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 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 Hazard Mitigation
	will be limited to 75 percent of the total
	eligible costs. If Public Assistance is 
	later determined to be warranted, Federal 
	funds provided under that program 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 
Suzanne Schmitt 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 Michigan to have been affected adversely by this 
declared major disaster:
