I have determined that the damage in 

certain areas of the Commonwealth of Puerto

on September 5, 2017, and continuing, is of 

sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant 

a major disaster declaration under the Robert 

T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency

‘‘Stafford Act’’). Therefore, I declare that such 

a major disaster exists in the Commonwealth

are hereby authorized to allocate from funds 

available for these purposes such amounts as 

you find necessary for Federal disaster 

assistance and administrative expenses.

Assistance and Public Assistance in the 

designated areas and 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 also will be limited 

to 75 percent of the total eligible costs, with 

the exception of projects that meet the 

eligibility criteria for a higher Federal costsharing percentage under the Public

Program for Debris Removal implemented 

pursuant to section 428 of the Stafford Act. 

Further, you are authorized to make
