Wildfire Suppression Operations Reserve Fund and 1 other account

A1: To the extent authorized by law, this estimated amount is apportioned for FY 2024. This estimated amount may be increased or decreased without further action by OMB if the actual indefinite appropriations; actual reimbursements earned, including reimbursements and offsetting collections from non-Federal/Federal sources; actual recoveries of prior year obligations; and actual contributions from non-Federal/Federal sources differ from the estimate. If the actual unobligated balance (excluding reimbursable funding) differs by more than 20 percent from the estimate in this apportionment, the agency must request a reapportionment of the account. Transfers of funds authorized by law (except for Section 102 transfers and transfers from the Wildfire Suppression Operations Reserve fund), to or from any of the accounts listed, may be processed without further action by OMB. Pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 1553(b), not to exceed one percent of the total amount appropriated is apportioned for the purpose of paying legitimate obligations related to canceled appropriations. Any of these funds that are not needed for this purpose may be used for current year obligations without further action by OMB. [Rationale: Footnote signifies that this TAFS has received or may receive an automatic apportionment.]

A3: Of the amounts apportioned to line 6012, $22,000,000 may be used to continue uninterrupted the Federal wildland firefighter base salary increases provided under section 40803(d)(4)(B) of P.L. 117-58, as authorized by the 15th proviso under the heading “Wildland Fire Management” in title I of division E of Public Law 118-42 and outlined in DOI’s March 20, 2024 spend plan. This amount ($22,000,000) may be increased by up to 5% without notification to OMB. DOI must notify OMB in writing at least five business days before any increase to this amount by more than 5% and provide an explanation for such increase. [Rationale: An agency spend plan or other documentation is necessary to better understand how the agency intends to obligate some or all of the apportioned funds.]

A2: Transfers from Suppression funds to other fire activities, including transfers to reimburse prior borrowing for fire suppression, require a reapportionment prior to any change in the distribution of funds provided in this apportionment. [Rationale: Footnote specifies the purpose(s) for which the funds are available to be obligated.]
