of New Jersey resulting from severe storms and flooding during the 
period of August 13-15, 2011, is of sufficient severity and 
magnitude to warrant a major disaster declaration under the Robert

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

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.
