the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality,

Forest Service
Title: Cooperative Wildland Fire Management and Stafford Act
Response Agreements.
OMB Control Number: 0596-0242.
Summary of Collection: The primary authorities allowing for the
agreements are the Reciprocal Fire Protection Act, 42 U.S.C 1856, and
the Stafford Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121. The proposed Cooperative Wildland
Fire Management and Stafford Act Response Agreement template will allow
authorized agencies to streamline coordination with other Federal,
State, local, and Tribal governments in wildland fire protection
activities, and to document in an agreement the roles and
responsibilities among the parties, ensuring maximum protection of
resources.
Need and Use of the Information: To negotiate, develop, and
administer Cooperative Wildland Fire Management and Stafford Act
Response Agreements, the USDA Forest Service, DOI Bureau of Land
Management, DOI Fish and Wildlife Service, DOI National Park Service,
and DOI Bureau of Indian Affairs must collect information from willing
State, local, and Tribal governments from the pre-agreement to the
closeout stage via telephone calls, emails, postal mail, and person-to-
person meetings. There are multiple means to communicate responses,
which include forms, optional forms, templates, electronic documents,
in person, telephone, and email. The scope of information collected
includes the project type, project scope, financial plan, statement of
work, and cooperator's business information. Without the collected
information, authorized Federal agencies would not be able to
negotiate, create, develop, and administer cooperative agreements with
stakeholders for wildland fire protection, approved fire severity
activities, and presidentially declared emergencies or disasters.
Authorized Federal agencies would be unable to develop or monitor
projects, make payments, or identify financial and accounting errors.
Description of Respondents: State, local and Tribal Governments.
Number of Respondents: 320.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 47,040.
