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 Public Assistance in the

Consistent with the requirement that Federal assistance be

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.
