resulting from severe storms during the period of June 29 to July 1,

disaster declaration under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief

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

Mitigation in the District of Columbia. Consistent with the 
requirement that Federal assistance is supplemental, any Federal 
funds provided under the Stafford Act for Public Assistance and 
Hazard Mitigation will be limited to 75 percent of the total 
eligible costs.
    Further, you are authorized to make changes to this declaration 
for the approved assistance to the extent allowable under the 
Stafford Act.
