    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State 
of Nebraska resulting from flooding during the period of May 24 to

major disaster declaration under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster

exists in the State of Nebraska.

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

Assistance in the designated areas, and Hazard Mitigation throughout 
the State. Consistent with the requirement that Federal assistance 
is supplemental, any Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act 
for Public Assistance, Hazard Mitigation, and Other Needs Assistance 
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.
