the Soboba Band of Luise[ntilde]o Indians resulting from severe 
storms, flooding, and mudslides during the period of December 4-6,

disaster declaration under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief 
and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq. (the ``Stafford 
Act''). Therefore, I declare that such a major disaster exists for 
the Soboba Band of Luise[ntilde]o Indians and associated lands.

authorized to allocate from funds available for these purposes such 
amounts as you find necessary for Federal disaster assistance and

Stafford Act for Hazard Mitigation 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 cost-sharing percentage 
under the Public Assistance Alternative Procedures Pilot Program for 
Debris Removal implemented pursuant to section 428 of the Stafford
