| Footnotes for line 6190 (Previous): | A1: To the extent authorized by law, this estimated amount is apportioned for FY 2025. 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 transfers from the Wildfire Suppression Operations Reserve fund or transfers between accounts affected by the Forest Service budget restructure outlined in section 435 of division D of the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020), 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: All base 8 pay period costs for agency Wildland Fire employees (including permanent and temporary status) assigned to a wildfire incident as either firefighting or support personnel, as well as the costs incurred to hire, train and provide boot stipends to all firefighting and support personnel shall be charged to and accounted for in Wildland Fire Management (WFM) Salary and Expenses. Base 8 pay period costs for employees extended beyond their original term of employment, contract and casual hires, and firefighting and support personnel costs for overtime pay, hazard pay, and environmental differential pay shall continue to be charged to and accounted for in WFM Suppression. This business rule update is generally consistent with the business rule at Department of the Interior for base 8 pay period costs, and will ensure that wildfire cap adjustment resources are only used for costs that vary with the volume of wildfire suppression operations. [Rationale: Footnote specifies the purpose(s) for which funds are available to be obligated.] | ||||
| Footnotes for line 6190 (Current): | A1: To the extent authorized by law, this estimated amount is apportioned for FY 2025. Apportioned amounts may be adjusted upwards without further action by OMB by up to 2 percent of total budgetary resources or $2 million, whichever is lower, to reflect: (1) increases in amounts of actual budgetary resources that are realized above anticipated amounts and (2) upward adjustments in the amount of unobligated balances brought forward. Additionally, non-expenditure transfers of budget authority or balances authorized by law for amounts less than the lower of 2 percent of total budgetary resources or $2 million (except for transfers from the Wildfire Suppression Operations Reserve fund or transfers between accounts affected by the Forest Service budget restructure outlined in section 435 of division D of the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020), to or from any of the accounts listed, may be processed and are apportioned without further action by OMB.

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 transfers from the Wildfire Suppression Operations Reserve fund or transfers between accounts affected by the Forest Service budget restructure outlined in section 435 of division D of the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020), 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 | All base 8 pay period costs for agency Wildland Fire employees (including permanent and temporary status) assigned to a wildfire incident as either firefighting or support personnel, as well as the costs incurred to hire, train and provide boot stipends to all firefighting and support personnel shall be charged to and accounted for in Wildland Fire Management (WFM) Salary and Expenses. Base 8 pay period costs for employees extended beyond their original term of employment, contract and casual hires, and firefighting and support personnel costs for overtime pay, hazard pay, and environmental differential pay shall continue to be charged to and accounted for in WFM Suppression. This business rule update is generally consistent with the business rule at Department of the Interior for base 8 pay period costs, and will ensure that wildfire cap adjustment resources are only used for costs that vary with the volume of wildfire suppression operations. [Rationale: Footnote specifies the purpose(s) for which funds are available to be obligated.] |
| A4 | Of the amounts apportioned to line 6021, $60,000,000 may be used to continue uninterrupted the Federal wildland firefighter base salary increases provided under section 40803(d)(4)(B) of Public Law 117-58, as authorized by the sixth proviso under the heading "Wildland Fire Management" in title III of division E of Public Law 118-42 and in line with a continuation of the FY 2024 Wildland Fire S&E Spend Plan (provided by USDA-FS to OMB on March 28, 2024) into FY 2025. This amount ($60,000,000) may be increased by up to 2.5% without prior notification to OMB. Forest Service must notify OMB in writing at least five business days before any increase to this amount by more than 2.5% 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.] |
| B2 | Amounts may be transferred to the "Wildland Fire Management" account in the Department of Agriculture only upon notification of the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations that all wildfire suppression operations funds appropriated under that heading in this and prior appropriations Acts to the agency to which funds will be transferred will be obligated within 30 days. (PL 118-158) |
| B3 | Amounts provided to the Forest Service in the Continuing Appropriation Act 2025, and Other Extensions Act, (PL 118-83). |
| B4 | Amounts provided to Forest Service in Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (PL 117-58) |
| B5 | Amounts provided to the Forest Service in the Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2025 (PL 118-158). |
