the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska resulting from severe storms and 
flooding during the period of March 13 to April 1, 2019, is of 
sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant a major disaster 
declaration under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and

authorized to allocate from funds available for these purposes such

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.

for the approved assistance to the extent allowable under the
