SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Qualified Products List for
Engine Driven Pumps.
OMB Number: 0596–New.
Expiration Date of Approval: Not
applicable.
Type of Request: New.
Abstract: The Forest Service needs to
have available adequate types and
quantities of self-contained engine
driven pumps to accomplish fire
management activities safely,
efficiently, and effectively. To
accomplish this objective, the Agency
needs to evaluate and pre-approve
commercial pumps that meet three
following categories: Engine Driven
Pumps, Lightweight Portable Pumps,
and Portable Floating Pumps.
Engine driven pumps are defined as
portable pumps which consist of a
gasoline engine, centrifugal or positive
displacement pump, and engine
controls which weigh between 60–400
lbs. Lightweight portable pumps are
‘‘back packable’’ positive displacement
or centrifugal pumps that use a gasoline
engine which weigh up to sixty pounds.
Floating portable pumps are selfpriming and float on the water during
operation.
Products must meet specification
standards identified and maintained by
the Forest Service’s San Dimas
Technology and Development Center
(SDTDC) staff. This staff evaluates and
approves commercially available pumps
prior to use in fire management

activities on lands managed by the
Forest Service, Federal, and State
Cooperators. Employees of SDTDC
consider the following requirements
when determining product effectiveness
for use by Forest Service employees and
Federal cooperators:
1. Pump performance. These
performance requirements include
pump pressure and flow ranges, priming
and drafting performance parameters,
weight and sound levels.
2. Reliability and endurance
requirements. These requirements
include a 100-hour endurance test and
evaluation of the properties of materials
used in construction.
3. Quality and refurbishment
standards. The construction and
assembly processes are evaluated to
ensure that the pumps are robust, field
serviceable, and can be refurbished and
reissued.
4. Compatibility and
interchangeability requirements. The
engine driven pumps must be
compatible with standard wildland fire
hoses and other water handling
appliances. Threads, physical
dimensions, and markings are inspected
to assure proper interface controls.
To evaluate portable pump products,
SDTDC must collect product specific
information from manufacturers. This
information includes a qualification
sample or any special tools to operate
the pump; certificate of conformance for
the material composition and properties
of materials used in the construction
and assembly of the pump; and user’s
manuals.
The information collected is
necessary to ensure pumps are properly
evaluated to meet specific requirements
related to safety, effectiveness,
efficiency, and reliability of the product
prior to use in the field. If this
information is not collected and pumps
are not evaluated on an on-going basis,
wildland fire fighters lives could be
placed in danger using untested
portable pumps during live fire
management activities.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 3 hours.
Type of Respondents: Businesses
(Manufacturers of portable pumps).
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 5.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses per Respondent: 3.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 45 hours.
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

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.
All comments received in response to
this notice, including names and
addresses when provided, will be a
matter of public record. Comments will
be summarized and included in the
submission request toward Office of
Management and Budget approval.
