FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Peggy Miller, Office of Response and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated February 11, 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 Utah resulting from severe winter storms and flooding during the 
period of December 20-24, 2010, 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 Utah.
    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 assistance for debris removal and 
emergency protective measures under the Public Assistance program in 
the designated areas. Consistent with the requirement that Federal 
assistance is supplemental, any Federal funds provided under the 
Stafford Act for Public Assistance will be limited to 75 percent of 
the total eligible costs. Additional forms of assistance may be 
added after the State has adopted an approved Standard State 
Mitigation Plan.
    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 pursuant to the authority vested in the Administrator, under 
Executive Order 12148, as amended, William J. Doran III, of FEMA is 
appointed to act as the Federal Coordinating Officer for this major 
disaster.
    The following areas of the State of Utah have been designated as 
adversely affected by this major disaster:

    Kane and Washington Counties for debris removal and emergency 
protective measures (Categories A and B) under the Public Assistance 
program.
