    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the 
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands resulting from Typhoon 
Soudelor during the period of August 1-3, 2015, is of sufficient

authorize Federal funds for all categories of Public Assistance, 
Hazard Mitigation, and Other Needs Assistance under Section 408 of
