Estimated Cost: The information
collection process for FMAGP is
managed by one Program Manager,
under a State’s Department of
Emergency Management or Department
of Forestry. The annualized cost to
respondents is estimated to be $16,163
annually. This is based on an hourly
wage rate of $23.65 (Bureau of Labor
Services) for a State’s Program Manager,
spending 23.35 burden hours to manage
the application and grants process for
the FMAGP. There is no capital start-up
cost or capital maintenance costs
Comments: Written comments are
solicited to (a) evaluate whether the
proposed data collection is necessary for
the proper performance of the agency,
including whether the information shall
have practical utility; (b) evaluate the
accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) minimize the burden
of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses. Comments should be

I have determined that the damage in
certain areas of the Territory of American
Samoa, resulting from Tropical Cyclone Olaf,
including high winds, high surf, and heavy
rainfall, beginning on February 15, 2005, 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 (the Stafford Act).
Therefore, I declare that such a major disaster
exists in the Territory of American Samoa.
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 assistance
for debris removal and emergency protective
measures (Categories A and B) under the
Public Assistance program and Hazard
Mitigation in the designated areas; and any
other forms of assistance under the Stafford
Act you may deem appropriate subject to
completion of Preliminary Damage
Assessments. Direct Federal assistance is
authorized. Consistent with the requirement
that Federal assistance be supplemental, any
Federal funds provided under the Stafford
Act for Public Assistance and Hazard
Mitigation will be limited to 75 percent of the
total eligible costs. If Other Needs Assistance
under Section 408 of the Stafford Act is later
warranted, Federal funding under this
program will also be limited to 75 percent of
the total eligible costs. You are authorized to
make adjustments as warranted to the nonFederal cost shares as provided under the
Insular Areas Act, 48 U.S.C. 1469a(d).
Further, you are authorized to make
changes to this declaration to the extent
allowable under the Stafford Act.
The Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice that
pursuant to the authority vested in the
Under Secretary for Emergency
Preparedness and Response, Department
of Homeland Security, under Executive
Order 12148, as amended, Alexander S.
Wells, of FEMA is appointed to act as
the Federal Coordinating Officer for this
declared disaster.
I do hereby determine the Territory of
American Samoa to have been affected
adversely by this declared major
disaster:
Debris removal and emergency protective
measures (Categories A and B) under the
Public Assistance program for the Territory
of American Samoa. Direct Federal assistance
is authorized.
All islands within the Territory of
