SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated May 13, 2011, the President issued a major disaster declaration 
under the authority of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and 
Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq. (the ``Stafford 
Act''), as follows:

    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State 
of Oklahoma resulting from a severe winter storm and snowstorm 
during the period of January 31 to February 5, 2011, is of 
sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant a major disaster 
declaration under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and 
Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq. (the ``Stafford 
Act''). Therefore, I declare that such a major disaster exists in 
the State of Oklahoma.
    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, including 
direct Federal assistance, in the designated areas and Hazard 
Mitigation throughout the State. You are further authorized to 
provide emergency protective measures, including snow assistance, 
under the Public Assistance program for any continuous 48-hour 
period during or proximate to the incident period. You may extend 
the period of assistance, as warranted. This assistance excludes 
regular time costs for the sub-grantees' regular employees. 
Consistent with the requirement that Federal assistance is 
supplemental, any Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act for 
Public Assistance and Hazard Mitigation will be limited to 75 
percent of the total eligible costs.
    Further, you are authorized to make changes to this declaration 
for the approved assistance to the extent allowable under the 
Stafford Act.
