[[Page 29347]]


    I have determined that the impact in certain areas of the State 
of Connecticut resulting from the record snowfall during the period 
of February 11-12, 2006, 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 Connecticut.
    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 proximate 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 provide under the Stafford Act 
for Public Assistance will be limited to 75 percent of the total 
eligible costs in the designated areas. 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, Kevin Merli, 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 
Connecticut to have been affected adversely by this declared emergency: 
The counties of Fairfield, Hartford, New Haven, Tolland, and Windham 
for emergency protective measures (Category B) under the Public 
Assistance program for any continuous 48-hour period during or 
proximate to the incident period.
