SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated April 27, 2011, the President issued an emergency declaration 
under the authority of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and 
Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121-5207 (the Stafford Act), as 
follows:

    On April 27, 2011, I determined that the emergency conditions in 
certain areas of the State of Alabama resulting from severe storms, 
tornadoes, and straight-line winds beginning on April 27, 2011, and 
continuing, are 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 declared that such an emergency exists in the 
State of Alabama.
    In order to provide Federal assistance, you were authorized to 
provide appropriate assistance for required emergency measures, 
authorized under Title V of the Stafford Act, to save lives and to 
protect property and public health and safety, and to lessen or 
avert the threat of a catastrophe in the designated areas. 
Specifically, you were authorized to provide assistance for 
emergency protective measures (Category B), limited to direct 
Federal assistance, under the Public Assistance program. This 
assistance excludes regular time costs for subgrantees' regular 
employees.
    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. In order to provide Federal assistance, you were 
authorized to allocate from funds available for these purposes, such 
amounts as you find necessary for Federal emergency assistance and 
administrative expenses.
    Further, you were 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, Department 
of Homeland Security, under Executive Order 12148, as amended, Joe M. 
Girot, of FEMA is appointed to act as the Federal Coordinating Officer 
for this declared emergency.
    The following areas of the State of Alabama have been designated as 
adversely affected by this declared emergency:

    All 67 Counties in the State of Alabama for emergency protective 
measures (Category B), limited to direct Federal assistance, under 
the Public Assistance program.
