are hereby authorized to allocate from funds 

available for these purposes such amounts as 

you find necessary for Federal disaster 

assistance and administrative expenses.

protective measures (Category B) under the 

Public Assistance program in the designated

You may extend the period of assistance, as 

warranted. This assistance excludes regular 

time costs for the sub-grantees’ regular 

employees. 

Consistent with the requirement that 

Federal assistance is supplemental, any 

Federal funds provided under the Stafford
