SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated May 21, 2002, the President declared a major disaster under the 
authority of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency 
Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121-5206 (Stafford Act), as follows:

    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State 
of Illinois, resulting

[[Page 38499]]

from severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding on April 21, 2002, and 
continuing, 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. 5121-5206 (Stafford 
Act). I, therefore, declare that such a major disaster exists in the 
State of Illinois.
    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 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 Hazard Mitigation and the Individual and Family Grant program 
will be limited to 75 percent of the total eligible costs. If Public 
Assistance is later 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 Robert R. Colangelo 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 Illinois 
to have been affected adversely by this declared major disaster:
