[[Page 42309]]

Forest Service State and Private Forestry Cooperative Fire Program. The 
program provides supplemental funding for State and local firefighting 
agencies. The Forest Service works cooperatively with State and local 
firefighting agencies to support their fire suppression efforts.
    State fire marshals and State forestry officials use form FS-3100-8 
(Annual Wildfire Summary Report) to report information to the Forest 
Service regarding State and local wildfire suppression efforts. The 
Forest Service is unable to assess the effectiveness of the State and 
Private Forestry Cooperative Fire Program without this information. 
Forest Service managers evaluate the information to determine if the 
Cooperative Fire Program funds used by State and local fire agencies 
have improved fire suppression capabilities. The Forest Service shares 
the information with Congress as part of the annual request for funding 
for this program.
    The information collected includes the number of fires responded to 
by State or local firefighting agencies within a fiscal year, as well 
as the following information pertaining to such fires:
     Fire type (timber, structural, or grassland);
     Size (in acres) of the fires;
     Cause of fires (lightning, campfires, arson, etc.); and
     Suppression costs associated with the fires.
    The data gathered is not available from any other sources.
    Estimate of Burden per Response: 30 minutes.
    Type of Respondents: State fire marshals or State forestry 
officials.
    Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 56.
    Estimated Annual Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 28 hours.
    Comment is invited on: (1) Whether this collection of information 
is necessary for the stated purposes and the proper performance of the 
functions of the Agency, including whether the information will have 
practical or scientific utility; (2) the accuracy of the Agency's 
estimate of the burden of the collection of information, including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance 
the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; 
and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
respondents, including the use of automated, electronic, mechanical, or 
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.
    All comments received in response to this notice, including names 
and addresses when provided, will be a matter of public record. 
Comments will be summarized and included in the request for Office of 
Management and Budget approval.

    Dated: June 21, 2016.

 Deputy Chief, State and Private Forestry.
