of Missouri resulting from severe storms, tornadoes, straight-line 
winds, and flooding during the period of April 28 to May 11, 2017, 
is of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant a major disaster

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

for Hazard Mitigation and Other Needs Assistance 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 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.
