of North Dakota resulting from a severe winter storm during the 
period of April 29 to May 1, 2011, is of sufficient severity and 
magnitude to warrant a major disaster declaration under the Robert

a major disaster exists in the State of North Dakota.

authorized to allocate from funds available for these purposes such 
amounts as you find necessary for Federal disaster assistance and 
administrative expenses.

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.
