Title: Annual Wildfire Summary Report.
OMB Control Number: 0596-0025.
Summary of Collection: The Cooperative Forestry Assistance Act of
1978 (16 U.S.C. 2101) requires the Forest Service (FS) to collect
information about wildfire suppression efforts by State and local fire
fighting agencies in order to support specific congressional funding
requests for the Forest Service State and Private Forestry Cooperative
Fire Program. The program provides supplemental funding for State and
local firefighting agencies. The FS works cooperatively with State and
local fire fighting agencies to support their fire suppression efforts.
FS will collect information using form FS 3100-8, Annual Wildfire
Summary Report.
Need and Use of the Information: FS will collect information using
form FS-3100-8 to determine if the Cooperative Fire Program funds,

capabilities. The information collected includes the numbers of fires
and acres burned on State and private land by cause, such as lightning,
campfires, smoking, debris burning, arson, equipment, railroads,
children and miscellaneous activities. Information about the importance
of the State and Private Cooperative Fire Program will be shared with

acres burned by size classes. FS would be unable to assess the
effectiveness of the State and Private Forestry Cooperative Fire
Program if the information provided on FS-3100-8, were not collected.
