	I have determined that the damage in certain 
	areas of the State of Florida, resulting 
	from Tropical Storm Allison on June 11-15, 
	2001, is of sufficient severity and magnitude
	to warrant a major disaster declaration under

	(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 Individual 
	Assistance and Public 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

vested in the Director of the Federal Emergency
