Management Agency, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This is a notice of the 

Presidential declaration of a major 

disaster for the State of Georgia (FEMA–

1686–DR), dated March 3, 2007, and 

related determinations. 

DATES: Effective Date: March 3, 2007. 

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 

March 3, 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 Georgia resulting 

from severe storms and tornadoes during the 

period of March 1–2, 2007, 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 Individual 

Assistance in the designated areas and any 

other forms of assistance under the Stafford 

Act that you deem appropriate subject to 

completion of Preliminary Damage 

Assessments (PDAs), unless you determine 

that the incident is of such unusual severity 

and magnitude that PDAs are not required to 

determine the need for supplemental Federal 

assistance pursuant to 44 CFR 206.33(d). 

Consistent with the requirement that 

Federal assistance be supplemental, any 

Federal funds provided under the Stafford 

Act for Other Needs Assistance will be 

limited to 75 percent of the total eligible 

costs. If Public Assistance and Hazard 

Mitigation are later warranted, Federal 

funding under these programs 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 

Director, Department of Homeland Security, 

under Executive Order 12148, as amended, 

Michael Bolch, of FEMA is appointed to act 

as the Federal Coordinating Officer for this 

declared disaster. 

I do hereby determine the following area of 

the State of Georgia to have been affected 

adversely by this declared major disaster: 

Sumter County for Individual Assistance.
