SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated June 23, 2009, the President declared an emergency under the 
authority of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency 
Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121-5206 (the Stafford Act), as follows:

    I have determined that the impact in certain areas of the State 
of Oklahoma resulting from the record snow and near record snow 
during the period of March 27-28, 2009, is of sufficient severity 
and magnitude to warrant an emergency 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 
an emergency exists in the State of Oklahoma.
    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 emergency protective measures, 
including snow removal, under the Public Assistance program to save 
lives and to protect property and public health and safety. Other 
forms of assistance under Title V of the Stafford Act may be added 
at a later date, as you deem appropriate. This emergency assistance 
will be provided for any continuous 48-hour period during or 
proximate to the incident period. You may extend the period of 
assistance, as warranted. This assistance excludes regular time 
costs for the sub-grantees' regular employees. Consistent with the 
requirement that Federal assistance be supplemental, any Federal 
funds provided under the Stafford Act for Public Assistance will be 
limited to 75 percent of the total eligible costs in the designated 
areas.
    Further, you are authorized to make changes to this declaration 
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, Department 
of Homeland Security, under Executive Order 12148, as amended, Douglas 
G. Mayne, of FEMA is appointed to act as the Federal Coordinating 
Officer for this declared emergency.
    I do hereby determine the following areas of the State of Oklahoma 
to have been affected adversely by this declared emergency:

    The counties of Beaver, Ellis, Woods, and Woodward for emergency 
protective measures (Category B) under the Public Assistance program 
for any continuous 48-hour period during or proximate to the 
incident period.
