SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
hereby given that, in a letter dated
October 2, 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:
I have determined that the damage in
certain areas of the State of Texas resulting
from Tropical Storm Erin during the period
of August 14–20, 2007, 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 Texas.
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 in the designated areas, Hazard
Mitigation throughout the State, 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 Hazard Mitigation
and Other Needs Assistance will be limited
to 75 percent of the total eligible costs.
If Public Assistance is later requested and
warranted, Federal funds provided under
that program also will be limited to 75
percent of the total eligible costs, except for
any particular projects that are eligible for a
higher Federal cost-sharing percentage under
the FEMA Public Assistance Pilot Program
instituted pursuant to 6 U.S.C. 777.
Further, you are authorized to make
changes to this declaration to the extent
allowable under the Stafford Act.

implementation of section 310(a),

pursuant to the authority vested in the
Administrator, under Executive Order
12148, as amended, Kenneth Clark, 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 Texas to have been
affected adversely by this declared
major disaster:
Bexar, Harris, Jones, Kendall, Medina, and
