Nebraska; Major Disaster and Related 

Determinations 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This is a notice of the 

Presidential declaration of a major 

disaster for the State of Nebraska 

(FEMA–1674–DR), dated January 7, 

2007, and related determinations. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 7, 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 

January 7, 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 Nebraska 

resulting from severe winter storms during 

the period of December 19, 2006, through 

January 1, 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 Nebraska. 

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 assistance 

for debris removal and emergency protective 

measures (Categories A and B) under the 

Public Assistance program in the designated 

areas, Hazard Mitigation throughout the 

State, and any other forms of assistance 

under the Stafford Act you may 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). Direct Federal 

assistance is authorized. 

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 

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, 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 areas 

of the State of Nebraska to have been affected 

adversely by this declared major disaster: 

Adams, Antelope, Blaine, Boone, Brown, 

Buffalo, Cedar, Chase, Cheyenne, Clay, 

Custer, Dawson, Dixon, Dundy, Fillmore,
