twenty-first century. The Coast Guard 

prepared a PEA that identified and 

examined the reasonable alternatives 

and assessed their potential 

environmental impacts. The PEA 

identified potential direct, indirect, and 

cumulative impacts associated with 

proposed modernization, including 

Coast Guard mission-related impacts 

and site-specific impacts. 

The Coast Guard developed two 

action alternatives to achieve 

modernization, a full modernization 

alternative and a partial modernization 

alternative. These two alternatives 

represented the upper and lower levels 

of change required to achieve the 

purpose and need of the modernization 

and, therefore, captured the range of 

social, economic, and environmental 

impacts that would occur while 

implementing modernization initiatives. 

The full modernization alternative 

emphasizes co-location of mission 

support and operations resources and 

functions and included potential 

construction at the Coast Guard Yard, 

Curtis Bay, Maryland. The partial 

modernization alternative would focus 

on operating from existing locations 

rather than co-locating functional 

resources in a single location and 

includes no new construction. The 

partial modernization alternative would 

minimally achieve the purpose and 

need for modernization, while the full 

modernization alternative would allow 

the Coast Guard to reach the fully 

envisioned functionality of 

modernization. The Coast Guard prefers 

the full modernization alternative. 

Either modernization alternative would 

be implemented over at least 5 years. 

The Coast Guard has determined that 

the mitigation committed to in the Final 

Coast Guard-prepared PEA will reduce 

all potentially significant environmental 

impacts to a level of insignificance. 

Thus, the Final PEA was determined to 

adequately and accurately discuss the 

environmental issues and impacts of the 

proposed action and provides sufficient 

evidence and analysis for determining 

that an environmental impact statement 

is not required. A Finding of No 

Significant Impact was, therefore, issued 

for the full modernization alternative 

which is the Coast Guard’s preferred 

alternative.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that, in a letter dated 

September 18, 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 Arkansas 

resulting from severe storms and flooding 

during the period of September 2–8, 2008, 

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 State of Arkansas. 

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. Direct 

Federal assistance is authorized. 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.
