    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the 
Commonwealth of Virginia resulting from a severe winter storm and 
snowstorm during the period of January 2 to January 3, 2022, 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 Commonwealth of Virginia.
    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 Commonwealth. 
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 be 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 
that
