Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 232 / Monday, December 5, 2005 / Notices
I have determined that the damage in
certain areas of the State of North Dakota
resulting from a severe winter storm and
record and near-record snow from October 4–
6, 2005, 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 North Dakota.
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 all
categories of Public Assistance in the
designated areas, emergency assistance
(Public Assistance Category B, emergency
protective measures for a period of 48 hours
in those areas designated for snow removal
assistance), 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 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
requested and warranted, Federal funding
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 Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice that
pursuant to the authority vested in the
Acting Director, under Executive Order
12148, as amended, Thomas J. Costello,
of FEMA is appointed to act as the
Federal Coordinating Officer for this
declared disaster.
I do hereby determine the following
areas of the State of North Dakota to
have been affected adversely by this
declared major disaster:
The counties of Benson, Billings,
Bottineau, Bowman, Burke, Dunn, Golden
Valley, McHenry, McKenzie, McLean,
Mercer, Oliver, Pierce, Renville, Rolette,
Sheridan, Stark, Towner, and Ward and the
Fort Berthold Indian Reservation for Public
Assistance.
The counties of Billings, Bowman, Burke,
Dunn, Golden Valley, McKenzie, Morton,
Mountrail, Stark, Ward, and Williams for
snow removal and emergency protective
measures (Category B) under the Public
