SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that, in a letter dated 

February 5, 2009, the President issued a 

major disaster declaration under the 

authority of the Robert T. Stafford 

Disaster Relief and Emergency 

Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121–5207 

(the Stafford Act), as follows: 

I have determined that the damage in 

certain areas of the Commonwealth of 

Kentucky resulting from a severe winter 

storm and flooding beginning on January 26, 

2009, 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. 5121–5207 (the Stafford Act). 

Therefore, I declare that such a major disaster 

exists in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. 

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 debris 

removal and emergency protective measures 

(Categories A and B) under the Public 

Assistance program in the designated areas, 

Hazard Mitigation throughout the 

Commonwealth, and any other forms of 

assistance under the Stafford Act that you 

deem appropriate. 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 under Section 

408 of the Stafford Act 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
