	I have determined that the damage in certain areas of 
	the State of Oklahoma, resulting from severe storms, 
	flooding, and tornadoes on May 27-30, 2001, is of 
	sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant a major 
	disaster declaration under the Robert T. Stafford

	5121 (Stafford Act). I, therefore, declare that such 
	a major disaster 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 Public Assistance in 
	the designated areas, Hazard Mitigation throughout 
	the State, and any other forms of assistance under 
	the Stafford Act you may deem appropriate. Consistent 
	with the requirement that Federal assistance be 
	supplemental, any Federal funds provided under the 
	Stafford Act for Public  Assistance  or  Hazard  
	Mitigation will be limited to 75 percent of the 
	total eligible costs.

	Further, you are authorized to make changes to this 
	declaration to the extent allowable under the Stafford 
	Act.

Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the authority vested in 
the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency under 
Executive Order 12148, I hereby appoint Joe D. Bray of the Federal 
Emergency Management Agency to act as the Federal Coordinating 
Officer for this declared disaster.
