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 Indiana, resulting from a tornado and severe storms on November 
6, 2005, 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. 5121-5206 (the Stafford 
Act). Therefore, I declare that such a major disaster exists in the 
State of Indiana.
    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 and any other forms of assistance under the 
Stafford Act you may deem appropriate. Consistent with the 
requirement that Federal assistance be supplemental, any Federal 
funds provided under the Stafford Act for the Other Needs Assistance 
under Section 408 of the Stafford Act will be limited to 75 percent 
of the total eligible costs. If Public Assistance and Hazard 
Mitigation are later requested and warranted, Federal funds provided 
under these programs will also 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 Acting Director, under 
Executive Order 12148, as amended, Brad Gair, 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 Indiana 
to have been affected adversely by this declared major disaster:
