Pennsylvania, resulting from severe storms 

and flooding associated with Tropical 

Depression Frances on September 8 and 9, 

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). Therefore, I declare 

that such a major disaster exists in the 

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

are hereby authorized to allocate from funds 

available for these purposes, such amounts as 

you find necessary for Federal disaster

Assistance in the designated areas; and 

Hazard Mitigation throughout the State, and

Consistent with the requirement that Federal 

assistance be supplemental, any Federal 

funds provided under the Stafford Act for 

Public Assistance, Hazard Mitigation, and the

the Stafford Act 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 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 time period prescribed for the 

implementation of section 310(a),
