SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter

under the authority of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and 
Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121-5206 (Stafford Act), as 
follows:

    I have determined that the impact in certain areas of the State 
of New York, resulting from the record/near record snow on January 
28-31, 2004, is of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant an 
emergency declaration under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief 
and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121-5206 (Stafford Act). I, 
therefore, declare that such an emergency exists in the State of New 
York.
    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 emergency protective measures 
under the Public Assistance program to save lives, protect public 
health and safety, and property. Other forms of assistance under 
Title V of the Stafford Act may be added at a later date, as you 
deem appropriate. You are further authorized to provide this 
emergency assistance in the affected areas for a period of 48 hours. 
You may extend the period of assistance, as warranted.
    This assistance excludes regular time costs for sub-grantees' 
regular employees. Assistance under this emergency is authorized at 
75 percent Federal funding for 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 Under Secretary for 
Emergency Preparedness and Response, Department of Homeland Security, 
under Executive Order 12148, as amended, Marianne C. Jackson, of FEMA 
is appointed to act as the Federal Coordinating Officer for this 
declared emergency.
    I do hereby determine the following areas of the State of New York 
to have been affected adversely by this declared emergency:

    Cayuga, Lewis, Oneida, and Oswego counties for emergency 
protective measures (Category B) under the Public Assistance program 
for a period of 48 hours.
