SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated April 26, 2013, 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 Kansas resulting from a snowstorm during the period February 20-
23, 2013 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 Kansas.
    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 and 
buildings and equipment (Categories B and E) under the Public 
Assistance program in the designated areas and Hazard Mitigation 
throughout the State. You are further authorized to provide snow 
assistance under the Public Assistance program for a limited period 
of time during or proximate to the incident period. 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.

    The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice 
that pursuant to the authority vested in the Administrator, under
