FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Magda Ruiz, Recovery Division, Federal 

Emergency Management Agency, 

Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646–2705.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that, in a letter dated 

September 24, 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 Georgia resulting 

from Tropical Storm Frances beginning on 

September 3, 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). Therefore, I declare that such 

a major disaster exists in the State of Georgia. 

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; and 

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 will 

be limited to 75 percent of the total eligible 

costs. If Other Needs Assistance under 

section 408 of the Stafford Act is later 

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 

pursuant to the authority vested in the 

Under Secretary for Emergency 

Preparedness and Response, Department 

of Homeland Security, under Executive 

Order 12148, as amended, James N. 

Russo, of FEMA is appointed to act as 

the Federal Coordinating Officer for this 

declared disaster. 

I do hereby determine the following 

areas of the State of Georgia to have 

been affected adversely by this declared 

major disaster:

The counties of Appling, Atkinson, Bacon, 

Ben Hill, Berrien, Bibb, Brantley, Brooks,
