and mainstream services for persons 

experiencing homelessness, (4) what 

challenges/barriers States and 

Territories faced in trying to achieve 

short- and long-term goals, and (5) to 

what extent relationships among the 

Governor’s office, legislators, key 

program administrators, and public and 

private stakeholders were created or 

strengthened. 

In order to reduce burden on 

informants, the outcome evaluation will 

focus on a sample of States and 

Territories (the 19 States and Territories 

participating in the last two Policy 

Academies on Chronic Homelessness 

and the three Pacific Territories). 

Data collection will be conducted 

over a 12-month period and will include 

both telephone interviews and site 

visits. Data collection instruments are 

semi-structured and will be 

administered by trained evaluation staff. 

Telephone interviews will be conducted 

with state team leaders and other team 

members. During site visits, in-person 

interviews will be conducted with team 

leaders, other team members, and other 

stakeholders. Both telephone and inperson interview protocols have been 

adapted to reflect the slightly different 

Policy Academy process used in the 

Pacific Territories and to reflect the 

different needs, funding sources, 

resources, and service systems in these 

territories. 

The estimated annual response 

burden to collect this information is as

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This is a notice of the 

Presidential declaration of a major 

disaster for the State of Alabama 

(FEMA–1605–DR), dated August 29, 

2005, and related determinations. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 29, 2005. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Magda Ruiz, Recovery Division, Federal 

Emergency Management Agency, 

Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646–2705. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that, in a letter dated 

August 29, 2005, 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 Alabama, 

resulting from Hurricane Katrina on August 

29, 2005, 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 

Alabama. 

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 assistance for debris removal 

and emergency protective measures 

(Categories A and B) under the Public 

Assistance program in the designated areas, 

Hazard Mitigation throughout the State, and 

any other forms of assistance under the 

Stafford Act you may deem appropriate 

subject to completion of Preliminary Damage 

Assessments (PDAs), unless you determine 

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 the Other Needs Assistance under 

Section 408 of the Stafford Act will be 

limited to 75 percent of the total eligible 

costs. For a period of up to 72 hours, you are 

authorized to fund assistance for emergency 

protective measures, including direct Federal 

assistance, at 100 percent of the total eligible 

costs. Federal funding for debris removal will 

remain at 75 percent. 

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 

Under Secretary for Emergency 

Preparedness and Response, Department 

of Homeland Security, under Executive 

Order 12148, as amended, Ron 

Sherman, 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 Alabama to have 

been affected adversely by this declared 

major disaster: 

Baldwin, Mobile, and Washington 

Counties for Individual Assistance. 

Baldwin, Clarke, Choctaw, Mobile, Sumter, 

and Washington Counties for Public 

Assistance Categories A and B (debris 

removal and emergency protective measures), 

including direct Federal assistance. For a 

period of up to 72 hours, assistance for 

emergency protective measures, including 

direct Federal assistance, will be provided at 

100 percent of the total eligible costs. The 

period of up to 72 hours at 100 percent 

excludes debris removal. 

All counties within the State of Alabama 

are eligible to apply for assistance under the 

Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.
