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

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
