    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State 
of Connecticut resulting from a severe storm during the period of 
October 29-30, 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 Connecticut.
    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. Direct 
Federal assistance is authorized. 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.
