SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that, in a letter dated

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 Ivan beginning on 

September 13, 2004, 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). I, therefore, 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 

and emergency protective measures 

(Categories A and B) under the Public 

Assistance program and Hazard Mitigation in 

the designated areas, and any other forms of 

assistance under the Stafford Act you may 

deem appropriate subject to completion of 

Preliminary Damage Assessments. Direct 

Federal Assistance is authorized. 

Consistent with the requirement that 

Federal assistance be supplemental, any 

Federal funds provided under the Stafford 

Act for Public Assistance, Hazard Mitigation, 

and the Other Needs Assistance under 

Section 408 of the Stafford Act will be 

limited to 75 percent of the total eligible 

costs. For a period of up to 72 hours, you are 

authorized to fund assistance for debris 

removal and emergency protective measures, 

including direct Federal assistance, at 100 

percent of the total eligible costs. 

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.
