Abstract: The Protection Act of 1922
(16 U.S.C. 594) authorizes the Forest
Service to fight fires on National Forest
System lands. This information
collection is an approved Forest Service
collection. The collection covers the
USDA Forest Service and the
Department of the Interior, and contains
the information collection activities and
burden hours for both agencies.
Wildland firefighters perform long
hours of arduous labor in adverse
environmental conditions. It is
imperative that these firefighters be in
sufficient physical condition to avoid
injury to themselves or their coworkers.
Federal employees and private
individuals seeking employment as a
firefighter with the Forest Service or the
Department of Interior complete the
health capability forms. This
information collection covers the forms
and burden hours associated with the
private individuals who apply for
firefighter positions with the
aforementioned agencies.
Form FS–5100–30, Work Capacity
Test—Informed Consent. The form is
signed by those deemed to be in
sufficient health to undergo a Work
Capacity Test. The Work Capacity Test
determines the level of an individual’s
aerobic fitness, level of muscular
strength, and muscle endurance. The
consent form is necessary to ensure the
individual taking the test is aware of the
various testing levels (arduous,
moderate, and light) and the risks
involved. The individual indicates the
following:
• They have read the information on
the form, the brochure ‘‘Work Capacity
Test’’ and understand the purpose,
instructions, and risks of the test;
• They have read the information,
understood, and truthfully answered the
Health Screen Questionnaire; and
• Test to be taken—pack test
(arduous), field test (moderate), or walk
test (light).
Failure to collect this data could
result in injuries or deaths during the
‘‘Work Capacity Test’’ and while
working on wildland fires. The

for Federal employment is stored in
secured official files, maintained
according to Agency regulations. The
