straight-line winds during the period of June 

12–17, 2017, is of sufficient severity and 

magnitude to warrant a major disaster

are hereby authorized to allocate from funds 

available for these purposes such amounts as 

you find necessary for Federal disaster 

assistance and administrative expenses.

percent of the total eligible costs. Federal 

funds provided under the Stafford Act for 

Public Assistance also will be limited to 75

exception of projects that meet the eligibility 

criteria for a higher Federal cost-sharing 

percentage under the Public Assistance
