Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646–2705.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
hereby given that, in a letter dated
September 7, 2006, 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:
Community Disaster Loans; 97.031, Cora
Brown Fund Program; 97.032, Crisis
Counseling; 97.033, Disaster Legal Services
Program; 97.034, Disaster Unemployment

Households Disaster Housing Operations;
97.050 Individuals and Households ProgramOther Needs, 97.036, Public Assistance

Program.)
I have determined that the damage in
certain areas of the State of Arizona resulting
from severe storms and flooding during the
period of July 25 to August 4, 2006, 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 Arizona.
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 Public
Assistance in the designated areas, 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.

premium to the Federal Government.
The Federal Government pays WYO
insurers for flood losses and pays loss
adjustment expenses based on a fee
schedule. Litigation costs, including
court costs, attorney fees, judgments,
and settlements, are paid by FIA based
on submitted documentation. The
Arrangement provides that under
certain circumstances reimbursement
for litigation costs will not be made. The
complete Arrangement is published in
44 CFR part 62, appendix A.
Each year FEMA is required to
publish in the Federal Register and
make available to the Companies the
