    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State 
of Iowa resulting from flooding beginning on May 25, 2011, and 
continuing, is of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant a 
major 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 in the State of Iowa.

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

emergency protective measures (Categories A and B), under the Public 
Assistance program and Hazard Mitigation throughout the State. 
Direct Federal assistance is authorized. 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.
