    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State 
of Maryland resulting from severe winter storms and snowstorms 
during the period of February 5-11, 2010, 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 Maryland.
    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. 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. For 
the authorized areas, the time period for emergency protective 
measures, including snow assistance, under the Public Assistance 
program is extended from 48 hours to 72 hours. This assistance 
excludes regular time costs for the sub-grantees' regular employees.
    Further, you are authorized to make changes to this declaration 
for the approved assistance to the extent allowable under the 
Stafford Act.
