    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State 
of Texas resulting from wildfires during the period of April 6 to 
May 3, 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 Texas.
    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 assistance for emergency 
protective measures (Category B), including direct Federal 
assistance, under the Public Assistance program. Consistent with the 
requirement that Federal assistance is supplemental, any Federal 
funds provided under the Stafford Act for Public Assistance 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.
