    Title: Federal Excess Personal and Firefighter Property Program 
Administration.
    OMB Control Number: 0596-0223.
    Summary of Collection: Federal Excess Personal Property (FEPP) and 
Firefighter Property (FFP) programs provide state (including US 
territories) forestry agencies the opportunity to obtain excess 
Department of Defense and other Federal agencies equipment and supplies 
to be used in firefighting and emergency services. The authority to 
provide excess supplies to state agencies comes from Federal Property 
and Administration Services Act of 1949, as amended, 40 U.S.C., Sec 
202. Authority to loan excess supplies comes from 10 U.S.C., Subtitle 
A, Part IV, Chapter 153, 2576b grants the authority for the FFP.
    Forest Service is merging burden from approved OMB 0596-0218, 
``Federal Excess Personal Property'' into the renewal of this 
collection.
    Need and Use of the Information: Each state designates an 
Accountable Officer who is responsible for the integrity of the program 
within their respective state and completing the necessary 
documentation for each program in which the state participates. For 
this reason FEPP and FFP collects the state forestry agency contact 
information and the information of the Accountable Officer. Cooperative 
Agreement forms FS-3100-10 and/or FS-3100-11 are used to collect the 
required information from the participating state agency that outlines 
the requirements and rules for the cooperation. Participating state 
agencies must submit separate agreements if they desire to participate 
in both programs.
    Description of Respondents: State and local government.
    Number of Respondents: 56.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: Annual.
    Total Burden Hours: 600.
