SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated December 5, 2011, the President issued a major disaster 
declaration under the authority of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster 
Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq. (the 
``Stafford Act''), as follows:

    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State 
of New Hampshire resulting from a severe storm and snowstorm 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 New Hampshire.
    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, including 
direct Federal 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 in the designated area for any 
continuous 48-hour period during or proximate to the incident 
period. You may extend the period of assistance, as warranted. This 
assistance excludes regular time costs for the sub-grantees' regular 
employees.
    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.
