SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that, in a letter dated 

September 13, 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. 5121–5206 

(the Stafford Act), as follows: 

I have determined that the damage in 

certain areas of the State of Louisiana 

resulting from Hurricane Ike beginning on 

September 11, 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 

Louisiana. 

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 

(Category A), including direct Federal 

assistance, under the Public Assistance 

program in the designated areas; Hazard 

Mitigation throughout the State; and any 

other forms of assistance under the Stafford 

Act that you deem appropriate subject to 

completion of Preliminary Damage 

Assessments (PDAs), unless you determine 

that 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). 

Consistent with the requirement that 

Federal assistance be supplemental, any 

Federal funds provided under the Stafford 

Act for Public Assistance and Other Needs 

Assistance 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 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, Department of Homeland 

Security, under Executive Order 12148, 

as amended, Michael J. Hall, 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 Louisiana to have 

been affected adversely by this declared 

major disaster: 

Acadia, Beauregard, Calcasieu, Cameron, 

Iberia, Jefferson Davis, Sabine, St. Mary,
