SUMMARY: This is a notice of the Presidential declaration of a major

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Peggy Miller, Disaster Assistance 
Directorate, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Washington, DC 20472,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated July 2, 2007, the President declared a major disaster 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 damage in certain areas of the State 
of New York resulting from severe storms and flooding on June 19, 
2007, 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 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 Public Assistance in the 
designated areas, Hazard Mitigation throughout the State, and any 
other forms of assistance under the Stafford Act that you deem 
appropriate. Consistent with the requirement that Federal assistance 
be supplemental, any Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act 
for Hazard Mitigation will be limited to 75 percent of the total 
eligible costs. If Other Needs Assistance under Section 408 of the 
Stafford Act is later warranted, Federal funding under that program 
will also be limited to 75 percent of the total eligible costs. 
Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act for Public Assistance 
will be limited to 75 percent of the total eligible costs, except 
for any particular projects that are eligible for a higher Federal 
cost-sharing percentage under the FEMA Public Assistance Pilot 
Program instituted pursuant to 6 U.S.C. 777. 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 Administrator, under 
Executive Order 12148, as amended, William Vogel, of FEMA is appointed 
to act as the Federal Coordinating Officer for this declared disaster.
    I do hereby determine the following area of the State of New York 
to have been affected adversely by this declared major disaster:

    Delaware County for Public Assistance.
    All counties within the State of New York are eligible to apply 
for assistance under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.
