    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State 
of Indiana resulting from severe storms and flooding during the 
period of February 14 to March 4, 2018, is of sufficient severity 
and magnitude to warrant a major disaster declaration under the 
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42

that such a major disaster exists in the State of Indiana.

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

be supplemental, any Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act

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.
