I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State of 
Iowa resulting from severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding during 
the period of May 19 to June 14, 2013, is of sufficient severity and 
magnitude to warrant a major disaster declaration under the Robert

5121 et seq. (the ``Stafford Act''). Therefore, I declare that such 
a major disaster exists in the State of Iowa.

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

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 to 
the extent allowable under the Stafford Act.
