	I have determined that the damage in certain
	areas of the State of Louisiana, resulting 
	from  Tropical Storm Allison beginning on June
	5, 2001, and continuing, is of sufficient 
	severity and magnitude to warrant a major 
	disaster declaration under the Robert T.

	I, therefore, declare that such a major 
	disaster exists in the State of Louisiana.

	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 Public Assistance, including 
	direct Federal assistance, in the designated
	areas, and Hazard Mitigation throughout the 
	State.  Consistent with the requirement that 
	Federal assistance be supplemental, any 
	Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act
	for Public 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.

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
