SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that, in a letter dated 

September 5, 2008, the President 

declared a major disaster under the 

authority of the Robert T. Stafford 

Disaster Relief and Emergency 

Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121–5207 

(the Stafford Act), as follows: 

I have determined that the damage in 

certain areas of the State of New Hampshire 

resulting from severe storms and flooding 

during the period of July 24 to August 14, 

2008, 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 State 

of New Hampshire. 

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 Hazard Mitigation 

will be limited to 75 percent of the total 

eligible costs. Federal funds provided under 

the Stafford Act for Public Assistance also 

will be limited to 75 percent of the total 

eligible costs, except for any particular 

projects that are eligible for a higher Federal 

cost-sharing percentage under the FEMA 

Public Assistance Pilot Program instituted 

pursuant to 6 U.S.C. 777. If Other Needs 

Assistance under Section 408 of the Stafford 

Act is later requested and warranted, Federal 

funding under that program also will 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, Philip E. Parr, of 

FEMA is appointed to act as the Federal
