SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
hereby given that, in a letter dated

VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 217001
I have determined that the damage in
certain areas of the Commonwealth of Puerto
Rico resulting from severe storms and
flooding beginning on September 21, 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. 5121–5207 (the Stafford Act).
Therefore, I declare that such a major disaster
exists in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
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 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
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.
The time period prescribed for the
implementation of section 310(a),
Priority to Certain Applications for
Public Facility and Public Housing
Assistance, 42 U.S.C. 5153, shall be for
a period not to exceed six months after
the date of this declaration.
The Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice that
pursuant to the authority vested in the
Administrator, under Executive Order
