    OMB Control Number: 0596-0025.
    Summary of Collection: The Cooperative Forestry Assistance Act of

information about wildfire suppression efforts by State and local fire 
fighting agencies in order to support specific congressional funding 
requests for the Forest Service State and Private Forestry Cooperative 
Fire Program. The program provides supplemental funding for State and 
local fire fighting agencies. The FS works cooperatively with State and 
local fire fighting agencies to support their fire suppression efforts. 
FS will collect information using form FS 3100-8, Annual Wildfire 
Summary Report.
    Need and Use of the Information: FS will collect information to

State and private land by cause, such as lightning, campfires, smoking, 
debris burning, arson, equipment, railroads, children and miscellaneous 
activities. Information will be shared with the pubic about the 
importance of the State and Private Cooperative Fire Program. FS would

not collected.
