# State of Vermont
As a result of the President's major disaster declaration for Public Assistance on September 23, 2004 the U.S. Small Business Administration is activating its disaster loan program only for private non-profit organizations that provide essential services of a governmental nature. I find that Addison, Caledonia, Chittenden, Franklin, Lamoille, Orleans, and Windham Counties in the State of Vermont constitute a disaster area due to damages caused by severe storms and flooding occurring on August 12, 2004 and continuing through September 12, 2004. Applications for loans for physical damage as a result of this disaster may be filed until the close of business on November 22, 2004 at the address listed below or other locally announced locations: U.S. Small Business Administration, Disaster Area 1 Office, 360 Rainbow Blvd., South, 3rd Floor, Niagara Falls, NY 14303.
The interest rates are:
| | Percent |
| --- | --- |
| For Physical Damage | |
| Non-profit organizations without credit available elsewhere | 2.900 |
| Non-profit organizations with credit available elsewhere | 4.875 |
The number assigned to this disaster for physical damage is P05506.
