SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that, in a letter dated May 

6, 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 Kansas resulting 

from severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding 

beginning on May 4, 2007, and continuing, 

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 Kansas. 

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 and 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 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, Hazard Mitigation, 

and Other Needs Assistance will 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 

Administrator, Department of Homeland 

Security, under Executive Order 12148, 

as amended, Michael L. Karl, of FEMA

Coordinating Officer for this declared
