follows:

    I have determined that the emergency conditions in the State of 
West Virginia resulting from severe storms beginning on June 29, 
2012, and continuing, are of sufficient severity and magnitude to 
warrant an emergency declaration under the Robert T. Stafford

(``the Stafford Act''). Therefore, I declare that such an emergency 
exists in the State of West Virginia.
    You are authorized to provide appropriate assistance for 
required emergency measures, authorized under Title V of the 
Stafford Act, to save lives and to protect property and public 
health and safety, and to lessen or avert the threat of a 
catastrophe in the designated areas. Specifically, you are 
authorized to provide assistance for emergency protective measures 
(Category B), limited to direct Federal assistance, under the Public 
Assistance program. This assistance excludes regular time costs for 
subgrantees' regular employees.
    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. 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 emergency 
assistance and administrative expenses.
    Further, you are authorized to make changes to this declaration 
for the approved assistance to the extent allowable under the 
Stafford Act.
