SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated February 24, 2006, the President declared an emergency 
declaration 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 impact in certain areas of the State of 
Maine, resulting from the record snow from December 25-27, 2005, 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 (the Stafford Act). Therefore, I declare that 
such an emergency exists in the State of Maine.
    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 and protect public health, 
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. 
This emergency assistance will be provided for any continuous 48-hour 
period during or approximate to the incident period. You may extend the 
period of assistance, as warranted. This assistance excludes regular 
time costs for sub-grantees' regular employees. Consistent with the 
requirement that Federal assistance be supplemental, any Federal funds 
provided under the Stafford Act for Public Assistance will be limited 
to 75 percent of the total eligible costs in the designated area.
    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 Acting Director, 
Department of Homeland Security, under Executive Order 12148, as 
amended, Peter J. Martinasco, 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 Maine to 
have been affected adversely by this declared emergency:
    Aroostook County for Public Assistance (Category B) emergency 
protective measures.
