SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is

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 Territory of the U.S. 

Virgin Islands, resulting from Tropical Storm 

Jeanne on September 14–17, 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 Territory of the 

U.S. Virgin Islands. 

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 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 

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. You are authorized to make 

adjustments as warranted to the non-Federal 

cost shares as provided under the Insular 

Areas Act, 48 U.S.C. 1469a(d) 

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, Peter J. 

Martinasco, of FEMA is appointed to act 

as the Federal Coordinating Officer for 

this declared disaster. 

I do hereby determine the following
