5/24/2011--Introduced.Amends the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act to authorize the Chief Executive of an affected Indian tribal government (the person recognized by the Secretary of the Interior as the chief elected administrative officer of that government) to submit a request for a declaration by the President that, consistent with requirements of that Act:

Requires any non-federal contributions of less than $200,000 required under such Act to be paid by an Indian tribal government to be waived.
