  1. Fire Collections There are three types of collections • Protection Assistance (FA-IM-2006-021) • Fire Trespass (FA-IM-2006-021) • Communications equipment (FA-IM-2005-005, Change 1) (sold to rural fire departments or cooperators)

  2. Authority Protection Assistance: FY 1999 Interior Appropriation (Department of the Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1999, as included in Public Law 105277 section 101 (e)) provided permanent authority to keep sums received for fire protection rendered pursuant to the authorities in the 1955 Fire Reciprocal Protection Act (42 U.S.C. 1856 et seq.).

  3. Authority Fire Trespass: Public Law 94-579, the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA), section 305, Deposits and Forfeitures. This section allows BLM to collect for fire trespass and use the collection for “any improvement, protection, or rehabilitation work.”

  4. Protection Assistance All funds collected are deposited into both suppression and preparedness accounts. Preparedness – OR930-2842-RD-1000 Suppression – OR930-2841-RD-1000

  5. Collections received for any year that the percentage has not been determined will be split 50/50. Collections apply to the year the incident occurred, not when the money is received.

  6. Fire Assistance • *2842/2852-* States will receive 50% of the preparedness part as a cost target through the AWP process. • The remaining 50% will be managed by the National Office of Fire & Aviation for bureau-wide priorities. • *-2841/2851-* Entire amount collected is managed by the National Office of Fire & Aviation for suppression related expenditures.

  7. Proceeds are deposited to Subactivity 2841 & 2842 and expenditures will be made from Subactivity 2851 & 2852. • CBS Collections come in asAction = Preparedness Assistance, Reimb (2842) and Suppression Assistance, Reim (2841). • MIS shows amounts as Subactivities 2851 and 2852.

  8. Uses of Fire Protection Collections • These are considered one-time funds • Non-recurring contracts • Interagency activities • One-time purchases not requiring monetary commitment beyond the level of the current preparedness budget.

  9. Fire Trespass • Fire trespass collections are deposited into either subactivity 5310 (Repair of Damaged Lands, O&C) or subactivity 5320 (Repair of Damaged Lands, Public Lands). • Use office code “OR930”, program element “RD” and project code “FIRE when depositing these collections. OR930-5320-RD-FIRE

  10. Fire Trespass Expenditures: Funds remain in OR930 Districts are authorized to spend 50% of the funds collected on their unit. Expenditures are made using the individual office code. Remaining 50% is managed by the State Office for statewide needs.

  11. Fire Trespass • Programs 5310 and 5320 include other BLM activities; therefore, it is “critical” that fire trespass collections cite the FIRE project code, or the funds risk being lost into a general collections category. • If another federal agency’s cost are a part of the trespass bill, BLM must transfer their percentage of the collections via IPAC.

  12. Uses of Fire Trespass Fund • These are considered one-time funds • Rehabilitate the lands damaged by the fire • Non-recurring contracts • Interagency activities • Temporary labor • Wildland fire prevention activities • One-time purchases not requiring monetary commitment beyond the level of the current preparedness budget.
