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

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Peggy Miller, Disaster Assistance

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated July 17, 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 North Dakota resulting from severe storms and flooding during the 
period of June 2-18, 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 North Dakota.
    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. 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. 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.
