    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State 
of South Dakota resulting from a severe winter storm and snowstorm 
during the period of April 8-10, 2013, 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 South Dakota.
    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 snow assistance under the Public 
Assistance program for a limited period of time during or proximate 
to the incident period. 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.

    The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice
