follows: 

I have determined that the damage in 

certain areas of the State of Wyoming 

resulting from a tornado on August 12, 2005, 

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 Wyoming. 

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 in the designated areas; Hazard 

Mitigation throughout the State; and any 

other forms of assistance under the Stafford 

Act you may deem appropriate. Consistent 

with the requirement that Federal assistance 

be supplemental, any Federal funds provided 

under the Stafford Act for Hazard Mitigation 

and the Other Needs Assistance under 

Section 408 of the Stafford Act will be 

limited to 75 percent of the total eligible 

costs. If Public Assistance is later requested 

and warranted, Federal funds provided 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 time period prescribed for the 

implementation of section 310(a), 

Priority to Certain Applications for 

Public Facility and Public Housing
