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 New York, 

resulting from Tropical Depression Ivan on 

September 16–24, 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 State of New 

York. 

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 Individual 

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 Hazard Mitigation 

and the Other Needs Assistance under 

Section 408 of the Stafford Act will be 

limited to 75 percent of the total eligible 

costs. If Public Assistance is later warranted, 

Federal funds provided 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 time period prescribed for the 

implementation of section 310(a), 

Priority to Certain Applications for 

Public Facility and Public Housing 

Assistance, 42 U.S.C. 5153, shall be for 

a period not to exceed six months after 

the date of this declaration. 

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, Theodore A. 

Monette, of FEMA is appointed to act as
