I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State
of Utah resulting from flooding during the period of April 18 to
July 16, 2011, is of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant a
major disaster declaration under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster

exists in the State of Utah.

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 Public Assistance in the

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.
