SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that, in a letter dated 

February 14, 2007, 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 Washington 

resulting from a severe winter storm, 

landslides, and mudslides during the period 

of December 14–15, 2006, 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 

Washington. 

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, Hazard 

Mitigation throughout the State, and any 

other forms of assistance under the Stafford 

Act that you 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. 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 

Director, under Executive Order 12148, 

as amended, Elizabeth Turner, 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 Washington to have

Harbor, Island, King, Klickitat, Lewis, Mason,
