SUMMARY:
I have determined that the damage in
certain areas of the State of Washington
resulting from a severe winter storm, straightline winds, flooding, landslides, mudslides,
and a tornado during the period of December
1–14, 2015, is of sufficient severity and
magnitude to warrant a major disaster
declaration under the Robert T. Stafford

Act’’). Therefore, I declare that such a major
disaster exists in the State of Washington.
In order to provide Federal assistance, you
are hereby authorized to allocate from funds
available for these purposes such amounts as
you find necessary for Federal disaster
assistance and administrative expenses.
You are authorized to provide Public
Assistance in the designated areas and
Hazard Mitigation throughout the State.
Consistent with the requirement that Federal
assistance be supplemental, any Federal
funds provided under the Stafford Act for
Hazard Mitigation will be limited to 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Fish
and Wildlife Programs Improvement
and National Wildlife Refuge System
Centennial Act of 2000 (Improvement
Act, Pub. L. 106–408) amended the
Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration
Act (16 U.S.C. 669 et seq.) and the
Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration
Act (16 U.S.C. 777 et seq.) and
established the Multistate Conservation
Grant Program. The Improvement Act
authorizes us to award grants of up to
$3 million annually from funds
available under each of the restoration
acts, for a total of up to $6 million
annually. Projects can be funded from
both funds depending on the project
activities. We may award grants to
projects from a list of priority projects
recommended to us by the Association
of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. The
Service Director, exercising the
authority of the Secretary of the Interior,
need not fund all projects on the list,
but all projects funded must be on the
list.
The Improvement Act provides that
funding for Multistate grants is available
in the year it is appropriated and for the
following year. Total funding for the FY
2016 Multistate Conservation grants is
in excess of $6 million due to funding
that has been carried over from FY 2015,
as well as the availability of funding
that had previously been sequestered.
Grantees under this program may use
funds for sport fisheries and wildlife
management and research projects,
boating access development, hunter
safety and education, aquatic education,
fish and wildlife habitat improvements,
and other purposes consistent with the
enabling legislation.
To be eligible for funding, a project
must benefit fish and/or wildlife
conservation for at least 26 States, for a
majority of the States in any one Service
Region, or for one of the regional
associations of State fish and wildlife
agencies. We may award grants to a
State, a group of States, or one or more
nongovernmental organizations. For the
