    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State of 
New Mexico resulting from severe storms and flooding during the period 
of July 25 to August 9, 2010, is of sufficient severity and magnitude 
to warrant a major disaster declaration under the Robert T. Stafford

exists in the State of New Mexico.

find necessary for Federal disaster assistance and administrative

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.
