The public will benefit by having reduced fire loss, the development of fire prevention programs, and the reduction of occurrence and intensity of wildland fires within the urban interface. The authority of Public Law 106-291, Title IV, Wildland Fire Appropriations for the Department of the Interior and Related Agencies Act, 2001, which states, in part, the Department of the Interior will provide rural fire assistance. The National Park Service may provide technical assistance, training supplies, materials, equipment, and participate in interagency prevention and educational activities on a cost share basis.
