    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State 

of Alaska resulting from an ice jam and flooding during the period 

of May 8-13, 2011, is of sufficient severity and magnitude to 

warrant a major disaster declaration under the Robert T. Stafford

(the ``Stafford Act''). Therefore, I declare that such a major 

disaster exists in the State of Alaska.

authorized to allocate from funds available for these purposes such 

amounts as you find necessary for Federal disaster assistance and 

administrative expenses.

Consistent with the requirement that Federal assistance is 

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.
