Wildfire Suppression Operations Reserve Fund and 1 other account

B2: Division G, Title I of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 (P.L. 117-103) provided funds under the heading "Wildfire Suppression Operations Reserve Fund" in accordance with 2 U.S.C. 901 (b)(2)(F), as amended, to be available for transfer to the Wildland Fire Management account when other suppression funds are estimated to be exhausted within 30 days.

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.]
