Making consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 5

The wildland fire management account of the Department of the Interior. Of the total, $214,450,000 is for fuels management activities and $10,000,000 is for burned area rehabilitation. The Forest Service has a separate and larger wildland fire account in title III of this division.

What the document actually says

“For necessary expenses for fire preparedness, fire suppression operations, fire science and research, emergency rehabilitation, fuels management activities, and rural fire assistance by the Department of the Interior, $1,147,171,000, of which $383,657,000 shall remain available until expended”

Making consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 5
That sentence, in plain words

Interior fire work gets $1,147,171,000. Of that, $383,657,000 has no end date.

What this is about

This pays to get ready for fires and to put them out. Fuels work means thinning brush before a fire starts. The Forest Service has its own fire money.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
