management activities safely,
efficiently, and effectively. To
accomplish this objective, the Agency
needs to evaluate and pre-approve
commercial water enhancer products.
Products must meet specification
standards identified and maintained by
Forest Service Missoula Technology and
Development Center (MTCD) staff. The
MTDC staff utilizes the List of Known
and Suspected Carcinogens and the
Environmental Protection Agency’s List
of Highly Hazardous Materials in
analyzing these products. A risk
analysis may also be required.
MTDC employees consider the
following to determine whether
products are safe for use by Forest
Service employees and Federal
cooperators:
• Products must not include
ingredients that create an enhanced risk
in typical use to either the firefighters or
the public.
• Effects are based upon acute
toxicity determinations of the products
and a review of lists of known and
suspected carcinogens.
• The safety of the firefighters
equipment, either ground-based or
aircraft (i.e., uniform corrosion tests,
intergrandular).
• Safety to the environment in terms
of aquatic environments (fish and clean
water) and terrestrial environments
(wildlife and plants)—risk
determinations identify products that do
not enhance risk to those environments
in typical use.
• Acute toxicity concerns.
• Efficiency is evaluated based upon
such items as (1) the range of mix ratios
of concentrate products with water
appropriate for storage and handling in
typical wildland fire operations to
provide products that are storable and/
or can be kept available on fire
equipment, and (2) can be mixed and
used with readily available equipment
and facilities.
• Effectiveness tests for these
products are based upon those products
ability to reduce fire spread and
intensity even after the water carrier has
evaporated away.
The information submitted by
manufacturers on two forms: The
Confidential Disclosure Sheets and
Technical Data Sheets sent to
experienced staff at the MTDC, located
in Missoula, Montana. These forms are
available in either electronic form via email or paper copies, and the
manufacturers may submit them to the
MTDC in either form.
This information includes listings of
specific individual ingredients and the
quantity of these ingredients in the
formulation of the products,

identification of the specific sources of
supply for each ingredient, and the
specific mixing and hydration
requirements of gum-thickened
products. If a risk analysis is determined
to be necessary, the FS will request the
manufacturer to send a copy of the
product labeling. In these cases, a third
party assesses specific levels of products
or ingredients expected to occur in
typical application relative to human
and environmental health. Once the
manufacturers (and/or their suppliers)
have submitted their information and
payment for the analysis and evaluation,
the MTDC staff will begin to test these
water enhancer products safety,
efficiency, and effectiveness.
The collection of this information for
each product submitted for evaluation is
necessary due to the (1) length of time
necessary to test the water enhancer
products and perform the analysis/
evaluation of those products, which
takes over a year, and (2) the FS need
to ensure the safety, effectiveness, and
efficiency of retardant products prior to
their use.
If this information is not collected and
water enhancer products are not
analyzed and evaluated on an on-going
basis, our ability to solicit and award
water enhancer contracts in a timely
manner would not be possible.

Comment Is Invited
Comment is invited on: (1) Whether
this collection of information is
necessary for the stated purposes and
the proper performance of the functions
of the agency, including whether the
information will have practical or
scientific utility; (2) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including the use of
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.
