SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter
dated December 29, 2006, 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 Missouri resulting from severe winter storms during the period of
November 30 to December 2, 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 Missouri.
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 area, 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
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.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice
that pursuant to the authority vested in the Director, under Executive
Order 12148, as amended, Thomas J. Costello, of FEMA is appointed to
act as the Federal Coordinating Officer for this declared disaster.
I do hereby determine the following areas of the State of Missouri
to have been affected adversely by this declared major disaster:
Boone, Cole, Greene, Iron, Reynolds, St. Francois, Ste.
Genevieve, St. Louis, and Washington Counties, and the independent

All jurisdictions within the State of Missouri are eligible to
