Notice is
hereby given that, in a letter dated
February 23, 2007, 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:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I have determined that the damage in
certain areas of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania resulting from severe storms
and flooding during the period of November
16–17, 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 Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
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 Commonwealth,
and any other forms of assistance under the
Stafford Act that you 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.
