SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that, in a letter dated 

November 10, 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 Commonwealth of Puerto 

Rico resulting from severe storms, flooding, 

landslides, and mudslides on October 9–15, 

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 

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. 

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 island-wide for the principal 

island of Puerto Rico within the 

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico; 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 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 

Acting Director, under Executive Order 

12148, as amended, Justo Hernandez, of 

FEMA is appointed to act as the Federal 

Coordinating Officer for this declared 

disaster. 

I do hereby determine the following 

areas of the Commonwealth of Puerto 

Rico to have been affected adversely by 

this declared major disaster: 

The municipalities of Aibonito, Juana Dı ́az, 

Lares, Maricao, Pen ̃uelas, Ponce, Salinas, 

Santa Isabel, Utuado, Villalba, Yabucoa, and

All municipalities in the principal island 

of Puerto Rico within the Commonwealth of
