SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
hereby given that, in a letter dated
August 29, 2005, 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 (the Stafford Act), as
follows:
I have determined that the damage in
certain areas of the State of Louisiana,
resulting from Hurricane Katrina beginning
on August 29, 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 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 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 (PDAs),
unless you determine the incident is of such
VerDate Aug<18>2005

unusual severity and magnitude that PDAs
are not required to determine the need for
supplemental Federal assistance pursuant to
44 CFR 206.33(d). 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, Hazard Mitigation
and the Other Needs Assistance under
Section 408 of the Stafford Act will be
limited to 75 percent of the total eligible
costs. For a period of up to 72 hours, you are
authorized to fund assistance for debris
removal and emergency protective measures,
including direct Federal assistance, at 100
percent of the total eligible costs. Federal
funding for debris removal will remain at 75
percent.
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.

(Stafford Act), in a letter to Michael D.
Brown, Under Secretary for Emergency
Preparedness and Response, Federal
Emergency Management Agency,
Department of Homeland Security as
follows:
I have determined that the damage in
certain areas of the State of Louisiana,
resulting from Hurricane Katrina beginning
on August 29, 2005, and continuing, is of
sufficient severity and magnitude that special
conditions are warranted regarding the cost
sharing arrangements concerning Federal
funds provided under the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance
Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121–5206 (the Stafford Act).
Therefore, I amend my declaration of
August 29, 2005, to authorize Federal funds
for debris removal and emergency protective
measures (Categories A and B), including
direct Federal assistance, under the Public
Assistance program at 100 percent of total
eligible costs, for a 60-day period retroactive
to the date of the major disaster declaration.
This adjustment to State and local cost
sharing applies only to Public Assistance
costs and direct Federal assistance eligible
for such adjustments under the law. The law
specifically prohibits a similar adjustment for
funds provided to States for Other Needs
Assistance (Section 408), and the Hazard
Mitigation Grant Program (Section 404).
These funds will continue to be reimbursed
at 75 percent of total eligible costs.
Please notify Governor Blanco and the
Federal Coordinating Officer of this
amendment to my major disaster declaration.
This cost share is effective as of the date
of the President’s major disaster declaration.
