Reauthorization Act of 2008''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The loss of life due to fire has dropped significantly 
        over the last 25 years in the United States. However, the 
        United States still has one of the highest fire death rates in 
        the industrialized world. For 2006, the National Fire 
        Protection Association reported 3,245 civilian fire deaths, 
        17,925 civilian fire injuries, and $11,307,000,000 in direct 
        losses due to fire.
            (2) Every year, over 100 firefighters die in the line of 
        duty. The United States Fire Administration should continue its 
        leadership to help local fire agencies dramatically reduce 
        these fatalities.
            (3) Members of the fire service community should continue 
        to work together to further the promotion of national voluntary 
        consensus standards that increase firefighter safety.
            (4) The United States Fire Administration provides crucial 
        support to the Nation's 30,300 fire departments through 
        training, data collection, fire awareness and education, and 
        other activities for improving fire prevention, control, and 
        suppression technologies.
            (5) The collection of data on fire and other emergency 
        incidents is a vital tool both for policy makers and emergency 
        responders to identify and develop responses to emerging 
        hazards. Improving the United States Fire Administration's data 
        collection capabilities is essential for accurately tracking 
        and responding to the magnitude and nature of the Nation's fire 
        problem.
            (6) The research and development performed by the Federal 
        Government and non-government organizations on fire 
        technologies, techniques, and tools advance the capabilities of 
        the Nation's fire service to prevent and suppress fires.
            (7) The United States Fire Administration is one of the 
        strongest voices representing the Nation's fire service within 
        the Federal Government, and, as such, it should have a 
        prominent place within the Federal Government.

Output: Drinking Water Protection Act - Amends the Safe Drinking Water Act to direct the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to develop and submit to Congress a strategic plan for assessing and managing risks associated with cyanotoxins in drinking water provided by public water systems. (Cyanotoxins are naturally occurring toxins produced by cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae.) Requires the plan to include steps and time lines to:  evaluate the risk to human health from drinking water contaminated with cyanotoxins;  establish, publish, and update a comprehensive list of cyanotoxins that are harmful to human health;  summarize the known adverse human health effects of cyanotoxins and the factors that cause cyanobacteria to grow rapidly and make toxins;  determine whether to publish health advisories for harmful cyanotoxins and establish relevant guidance;  recommend feasible treatment options; and  enter into cooperative agreements with, and provide technical assistance to, affected states and public water systems to manage risks associated with cyanotoxins.
