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 assistance
for emergency protective measures (Category
B), including direct Federal assistance, under
the Public Assistance program in the
designated areas; Hazard Mitigation
throughout the State; and any other forms of
assistance under the Stafford Act that you
deem appropriate subject to completion of
Preliminary Damage Assessments (PDAs),
unless you determine that the incident is of
such unusual severity and magnitude that
PDAs are not required to determine the need
for supplemental Federal assistance pursuant
to 44 CFR 206.33(d).
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

projects that are eligible for a higher Federal
cost-sharing percentage under the FEMA

Assistance is later warranted, Federal
funding under that program will also be
limited to 75 percent of the total eligible
costs.

changes to this declaration to the extent
allowable under the Stafford Act.
The Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice that

Incidents
Federal Emergency

ACTION: Notice of final guidance.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) is issuing final guidance
entitled, ‘‘Planning Guidance for
Protection and Recovery Following
Radiological Dispersal Device (RDD)
and Improvised Nuclear Device (IND)
Incidents’’ (the Guidance). This
Guidance is intended for Federal
agencies, State and local governments,
emergency management officials, and
the general public who should find it
useful in developing plans for
responding to an RDD or IND incident.
The Guidance recommends ‘‘protective
action guides’’ (PAGs) to support
decisions about actions that should be
taken to protect the public and
emergency workers when responding to
or recovering from an RDD or IND
incident. The Guidance outlines a
process to implement the
recommendations, discusses existing
operational guidelines that should be
useful in the implementation of the
PAGs and other response actions, and
encourages federal, state and local
emergency response officials to use
these guidelines to develop specific
operational plans and response
protocols for protection of emergency
workers responding to catastrophic
incidents involving high levels of
radiation and/or radioactive
contamination.
DATES:
This notice is effective August 1,
