SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that, in a letter dated 

October 7, 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 South Carolina, 

resulting from Tropical Storm Frances, 

beginning on September 6, 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 South Carolina. 

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 requested 

and 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.

Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice that 

pursuant to the authority vested in the
