Territory of Guam resulting from Typhoon Dolphin during the period 
of May 13-16, 2015, is of sufficient severity and magnitude to 
warrant a major disaster declaration under the Robert T. Stafford

(the ``Stafford Act''). Therefore, I declare that such a major 
disaster exists in the Territory of Guam.

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

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 under the Public Assistance Alternative Procedures Pilot 
Program for Debris Removal implemented pursuant to section 428 of 
the Stafford Act.
    Further, you are authorized to make changes to this declaration 
for the approved assistance to the extent allowable under the 
Stafford Act.
