SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that, in a letter dated April 

26, 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 New Jersey 

resulting from severe storms and inland and 

coastal flooding during the period of April 

14–20, 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 New Jersey. 

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 that you deem appropriate. Consistent 

with the requirement that Federal assistance 

be supplemental, any Federal funds provided 

under the Stafford Act for Hazard Mitigation 

and Other Needs Assistance 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.

Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice that 

pursuant to the authority vested in the 

Administrator, Department of Homeland 

Security, under Executive Order 12148,
