SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter

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 emergency conditions in certain areas 
of the Federated States of Micronesia resulting from a drought 
beginning on March 5, 2007, and continuing, are 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 Federated States of Micronesia.
    You are authorized to provide appropriate assistance for 
required emergency measures, authorized under Title V of the 
Stafford Act, to save lives and to protect property and public 
health and safety, or to lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe 
in the designated areas. Specifically, you are authorized to provide 
Individual Assistance, limited to the Emergency Food Assistance 
Program, and emergency protective measures (Category B) under the 
Public Assistance program, including direct Federal assistance. This 
assistance excludes regular time costs for subgrantees' regular 
employees. In addition, you are authorized to provide such other 
forms of assistance under Title V of the Stafford Act as you may 
deem appropriate. 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 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 emergency assistance and 
administrative expenses. 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, Department 
of Homeland Security, under Executive Order 12148, as amended, Woodrow 
Goins, Jr., of FEMA is appointed to act as the Federal Coordinating 
Officer for this declared emergency.
    I do hereby determine the following areas of the Federated States 
of Micronesia to have been affected adversely by this declared 
emergency:

    The islands of Kuttu, Lukunoch, Onanu, Oneop, Onou, and Tamatam 
within Chuuk State for Individual Assistance, limited to the 
Emergency Food Assistance Program through the U.S. Department of 
Agriculture, and emergency protective measures (Category B) under
