I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State of 
Oklahoma resulting from a severe winter storm during the period of 
December 5-6, 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 Oklahoma.

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

the requirement that Federal assistance be supplemental, any Federal 
funds provided under the Stafford Act for Hazard Mitigation will be 
limited to 75 percent of the total eligible costs. Federal funds 
provided under the Stafford Act for Public Assistance also will be 
limited to 75 percent of the total eligible costs, with the 
exception of projects that meet the eligibility criteria for a 
higher Federal cost-sharing percentage under the Public Assistance 
Alternative Procedures Pilot Program for Debris Removal implemented 
pursuant to section 428 of the Stafford Act.
Further, you are authorized to make changes to this declaration for 
the approved assistance to the extent allowable under the Stafford 
Act.
