SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that, in a letter dated 

September 15, 2004, 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 South Carolina, 

resulting from Tropical Storm Gaston on 

August 28–30, 2004, 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 South Carolina. 

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 Public 

Assistance in the designated areas, Hazard 

Mitigation throughout the State, and any 

other forms of assistance under the Stafford 

Act you may deem appropriate. Consistent 

with the requirement that Federal assistance 

be supplemental, any Federal funds provided 

under the Stafford Act for Public Assistance 

and Hazard Mitigation under Section 408 of 

the Stafford Act will be limited to 75 percent 

of the total eligible costs. If Other Needs 

Assistance under Section 408 of the Stafford 

Act is later requested and warranted, Federal 

funding under that program will also 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.

The Federal Emergency Management 

Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice that

[Docket No. TSA–2004–19160] 

Reports, Forms, and Recordkeeping 

Requirements: Agency Information 

Collection Activity Under OMB Review; 

Secure Flight Test Phase

AGENCY: Transportation Security 

Administration (TSA), Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS).

ACTION: Notice of emergency clearance 

request. 

SUMMARY: TSA has submitted a request 

for emergency processing of a new 

public information collection to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for review and clearance under 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(Pub. L. 104–13, 44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.). 

This notice announces that the 

Information Collection Request (ICR) 

abstracted below has been forwarded to 

OMB for review and comment. The 

purpose of the ICR is to facilitate testing 

of TSA’s Secure Flight program, which 

will prescreen airline passengers using 

information maintained by the Federal 

Government about individuals known 

or suspected to be engaged in terrorist 

activity and certain other information 

related to passengers’ itineraries—

specifically, passenger name record 

(PNR) data. On a limited basis, TSA will 

also test the use of commercial data to 

identify instances in which passenger 

information is incorrect or inaccurate. 

TSA does not assume that the result of 

comparison of passenger information to 

commercial data is determinative of 

information accuracy or the intent of the 

person who provided the passenger 

information. 

In order to test the Secure Flight 

program, TSA is proposing to issue an 

order to all domestic aircraft operators 

directing them to submit a limited set of 

historical passenger name records to 

TSA. The ICR describes the nature of
