    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State 
of Indiana, resulting from severe storms, tornadoes and flooding 
beginning April 28, 2002, through June 7, 2002, 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. Secs. 5121-5206 (Stafford Act). I, therefore, declare that 
such a major disaster 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 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, 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, Hazard Mitigation, and the 
Individual and Family Grant program 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 Management Agency under Executive 
Order 12148, I hereby appoint Gracia Szczech of the Federal Emergency 
Management Agency to act as the Federal Coordinating Officer for this
