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 Nevada resulting from a wildland fire on July 14-27, 2004, 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). I, 
therefore, declare that such a major disaster exists in the State of 
Nevada.
    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 and Hazard 
Mitigation in the designated areas, 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

[[Page 53934]]

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 Under Secretary for 
Emergency Preparedness and Response, Department of Homeland Security, 
under Executive Order 12148, as amended, Michael Karl, 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 Nevada to
