Wildland Fire Defensible Space.
OMB Control Number: 0596—New.
Summary of Collection: The Forest
and Rangeland Renewable Resources
Research Act of 1978 (Pub. L. 95–307)
is the Department of Agriculture’s
primary authority to conduct research
activities. The Secretary is authorized to
conduct, support, and cooperate in
investigations, experiments, tests, and
other activities the Secretary deems
necessary to obtain, analyze, develop,
demonstrate, and disseminate scientific
information about protecting, managing,
and utilizing forest and rangeland
renewable resources in rural, suburban,
and urban areas. This study will provide
information regarding barriers to
participating in fire hazard reduction
programs in the wildland urban
interface and basic socio-demographics.
The results of this study will assist
efforts to decrease the cost to society
from wildland fires and improve the
efficiency of federal agencies in
wildland fire management.
Need and Use of the Information:
Information will be collected through a
voluntary mail survey of wild land
urban interface homeowners. The
information collected will help
wildland fire managers and researchers

defensible space and firewise
construction. If the collection is not
