to submit to the respective Secretary 

(the Secretary of Agriculture or the 

Secretary of the Interior), an annual 

certification that funds have been 

expended for the uses authorized under 

section 302(a) of the Act. 

The appropriate official of each 

participating county will be required to 

report the amount of Title III funds 

expended in the applicable calendar 

year in these categories, as described in 

the Act:

(1) To carry out activities under the 

Firewise Communities program. 

(2) To reimburse the participating 

county for emergency services 

performed on Federal land and paid for 

by the participating county. 

(3) To develop community wildfire 

protection plans in coordination with 

the appropriate Secretary. 

This information collection will 

identify the participating county and the 

year in which the expenditures were 

made, and will include the name, title, 

and signature of the certifying official, 

and the date of the certification. The 

certification will include a statement 

that all expenditures were for proposals 

that had a publication and comment 

period, and were submitted to any 

resource advisory committee for the 

county, as described in section 302(b) of 

the Act. 

This information will be collected in 

the form of conventional 

correspondence such as a letter, and at 

the respondent’s option, attached tables, 

or similar graphic display. At the 

respondent’s discretion, the information 

may be submitted by hard copy, and/or 

electronically scanned, and included as 

an attachment to electronic mail. 

The determination of the appropriate 

certifying official is at the discretion of 

the county or borough and will vary 

depending on county or borough 

organization. For unorganized boroughs 

in Alaska, the appropriate State official 

may provide the information. 

The Forest Service, U.S. Department 

of Agriculture, and the Bureau of Land 

Management, Department of the 

Interior, will collect this information 

from counties that participate in Title III 

of the State payment made by the Forest 

Service and the Bureau of Land 

Management as described in the Act. 

Under the Act, responses are required 

by February 1, following each year Title 

III funds are expended. The first 

response is required by February 1, 

2010, for funds expended in calendar 

year 2009. Because the authority to 

obligate county funds under Title III 

expires September 30, 2012, most of the 

expenditures are expected to be made 

by the following year, and the 

certifications concerning those 

expenditures would be required by 

February 1, 2014. The information will 

be reviewed by the respective Secretary, 

or designee, to verify that participating 

counties have certified that Title III 

funds were expended as authorized in 

the Act. 

Estimated Annual Burden per 

Respondent: The estimated time 

required for each response is 24 hours 

per year, including an estimated 20 

hours for collection and 4 hours for 

preparation and submission. 

Type of Respondents: Respondents 

are county officials. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 360. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 8,640 hours.

the Interior because those counties 

receive separate payments from each 

Department.
