Notice is hereby given that, in a letter dated January 7, 2007, the President declared an emergency declaration 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 impact in certain areas of the State of Colorado resulting from the record snow and near record snow during the period of December 18-22, 2006, is of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant an emergency 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 an emergency exists in the State of Colorado. 

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 emergency protective measures, including snow removal, under the Public Assistance program to save lives and to protect property and public health and safety. Other forms of assistance under Title V of the Stafford Act may be added at a later date, as you deem appropriate. This emergency assistance will be provided for any continuous 48-hour period during or proximate to the incident period. You may extend the period of assistance, as warranted. This assistance excludes regular time costs for the sub-grantees' regular employees. Consistent with the requirement that Federal assistance be supplemental, any Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act for Public Assistance will be limited to 75 percent of the total eligible costs in the designated areas. 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                           ( print page 2897)                        pursuant to the authority vested in the Director, Department of Homeland Security, under Executive Order 12148, as amended, Connee Lloyd, of FEMA is appointed to act as the Federal Coordinating Officer for this declared emergency.                 

I do hereby determine the following areas of the State of Colorado to have been affected adversely by this declared emergency: 

Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Custer, Denver, Douglas, Elbert, Gilpin, Jefferson, Las Animas, Pueblo, and Washington Counties for emergency protective measures (Category B) under the Public Assistance program for any continuous 48-hour period during or proximate to the incident period.
