threatening fire, current and forecast weather conditions, and 
associated factors related to the fire and its potential threat as a 
major disaster.

    Estimated Number of Respondents: 178.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 553.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 811.
    Estimated Total Annual Respondent Cost: The estimated annual cost 
to respondents for the hour burden is $56,281.
    Estimated Respondents' Operation and Maintenance Costs: There are 
no annual costs to respondents operations and maintenance costs for 
technical services.
    Estimated Respondents' Capital and Start-Up Costs: There is no 
annual start-up or capital costs.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost to the Federal Government: The cost to 
the Federal Government is $612,370.

Comments

    Comments may be submitted as indicated in the ADDRESSES caption 
above. Comments are solicited to (a) evaluate whether the proposed data 
collection is necessary for the proper performance of the agency, 
including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) 
evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used; (c) enhance the quality, utility, and 
clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) minimize the burden 
of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including 
through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or 
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.
