(the ``Stafford Act''), as follows: I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania resulting from severe storms and flooding during the period of October 20-21, 2016, is of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant a major disaster declaration under the Robert T.

Further, you are authorized to make changes to this declaration for the approved assistance to the extent allowable under the Stafford Act.
