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 Oregon resulting from severe storms, flooding, landslides, and 
mudslides from December 18, 2005, through and including January 21, 
2006, 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 Oregon.
    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 Public Assistance in the 
designated areas, Hazard Mitigation throughout the State, 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 Public Assistance and Hazard Mitigation will be limited to 75

[[Page 16822]]

percent of the total eligible costs. If Other Needs Assistance under 
Section 408 of the Stafford Act is later requested and warranted, 
Federal funding under that program 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.

that pursuant to the authority vested in the Acting Director, 
Department of Homeland Security, under Executive Order 12148, as
