SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that, in a letter dated 

October 1, 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 Commonwealth of Puerto 

Rico resulting from severe storms and 

flooding beginning on September 21, 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 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 Individual 

Assistance in the designated areas, Hazard 

Mitigation throughout the Commonwealth, 

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 and Other Needs 

Assistance 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 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. 

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 

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 

Administrator, under Executive Order 

12148, as amended, Justo Hernandez, of
