SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that, in a letter dated May 

11, 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 Connecticut 

resulting from severe storms and flooding 

during the period of April 15–27, 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 

Connecticut. 

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 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. 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 under Section 408 of the 

Stafford Act is later 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 

Administrator, under Executive Order 

12148, as amended, Michael L. Parker, 

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 Connecticut to have 

been affected adversely by this declared 

major disaster: 

Fairfield and Litchfield Counties for Public 

Assistance. 

All counties within the State of 

Connecticut are eligible to apply for
