SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is

I have determined that the damage in 

certain areas of the State of Vermont, 

resulting from severe thunderstorms and 

flooding on August 12, 2004, through 

September 12, 2004, is of sufficient severity 

and magnitude to warrant a major disaster 

declaration under the Robert T. Stafford

Therefore, I declare that such a major disaster

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 and Hazard Mitigation in the 

designated areas; 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 will be limited to 75 

percent of the total eligible costs. If Other
