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 storms and flooding during the 
period of May 5-18, 2007, 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 Individual Assistance and Public 
Assistance in the designated areas, and Hazard Mitigation throughout 
the State. Consistent with the requirement that Federal assistance 
be supplemental, any Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act 
for Hazard Mitigation and Other Needs Assistance will be limited to 
75 percent of the total eligible costs. Federal funds provided under 
the Stafford Act for Public Assistance will be limited to 75 percent 
of the total eligible costs, except for any particular projects that 
are eligible for a higher Federal cost-sharing percentage under the 
FEMA Public Assistance Pilot Program instituted pursuant to 6 U.S.C. 
777. Further, you are authorized to make changes to this declaration 
to the extent allowable under the Stafford Act.

    The time period prescribed for the implementation of section 
310(a), Priority to Certain Applications for Public Facility and Public 
Housing Assistance, 42 U.S.C. 5153, shall be for a period not to exceed 
six months after the date of this declaration.
    The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice 
that pursuant to the authority vested in the Administrator, under 
Executive Order 12148, as amended, Lee H. Rosenberg, of FEMA is
