SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
hereby given that, in a letter dated
September 2, 2008, 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 Louisiana
resulting from Hurricane Gustav beginning
on September 1, 2008, and continuing, 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
Louisiana.
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 and assistance for debris removal
(Category A) under the Public Assistance
program in the designated areas 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 Other Needs
Assistance will 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.
