I have determined that the emergency conditions in certain areas
of the Commonwealth of Kentucky resulting from a severe winter storm
beginning on January 27, 2009, 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

an emergency exists in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

required emergency measures, authorized under Title V of the
Stafford Act, to save lives and to protect property and public
health and safety, and to lessen or avert the threat of a

(Category B), limited to direct Federal assistance, under the Public
Assistance program. 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
