Forest, Fire and Community Assistance Grants Website
Now Available
Albuquerque, NM (October 8,2003) - The Forest Service has created a new website to explain various
types of federal and state forest, fire and community assistance grants available in the Southwester11
Region (Arizona, New Mexico, portions of Oklahoma and Texas).
The Southwest Area Forest, Fire and Community Assistance Grants website is designed to let interested
parties and contractors know how the grants can be used, eligibility requirements, contact points and
other websites available for various grants.
These grants are aimed at funding training and purchasing equipment to support volunteer and local fire
departments and to assist communities in the treatment of hazardous fuels. They will also make funds
available to assist in finding new and innovative uses for small diameter trees andlor improve utilization,
assist non-industrial private landowners, fund small business development, provide marketing assistance
and aid in community-based strategic action planning.
Contractors interested in doing work for private citizens, communities, local, county, state or federal
organizations in the Southwestern Region can register on the website to be listed in a database. The
contractors will be listed according to the type of service they can provide, and the counties and states
where they are willing to work. The public will be able to seek information on the database for a specific
service in a specific county.

NEW (The application period for 2004 grants is OPEN, Project Proposals must be submitted to the
Arizona State Land Department by October 1,2003)
The Arizona State Land Department is expecting Congress to
support State Fire Assistance Grant Programs for the federal fiscal
year starting October I , 2003 (FY04). The grant programs will be
similar to last year, funding projects that fit within at least one of four
categories: 1) improved prevention, 2) reduction of hazardous fuels,
3) restoration of fire-adapted ecosystems, and 4) promotion of
commun~ty assistance.
I Site Map
Project proposals need to be prepared as follows:
The 2004 Western States Grant Application Form must be used and may not be altered.
Project proposals must address at least one of the four categories listed above.
Project proposals must address clearly, but briefly, each of the grant questions. Lack of
complete information will result in lower scoring.
State Fire Assistance Grants require a 50150 match for federal funds.
Each individual project requires a separate application. Applications may not exceed four
pages.
0 All projects, when applicable, must acquire needed consultation and permits pertaining to
air quality, threatened and endangered species, and cultural reports prior to implementation.
Project proposals must be submitted to the State Land Department, Fire Management
Division, by October 1,2003. The Division will need a paper copy of the proposal and either
a "Word Perfect" version on a 3 1/2 inch disk or an email attachment as well. The email
address to submit proposals is: mikehart@,azstatefire.org. You can find an electronic copy
of the project proposal format at: www.fs.fed.us/r4lsfa srantslsfa qrants.html. Do not be
confused by the instructions to the states that are also posted at this website. Please,
follow the instructions provided here.
Projects submitted to the Arizona State Land Department, Fire Management Division, by October
1, 2003 will be reviewed, rated, and submitted to the Council of Western State Foresters and the
U.S.D.A. Forest Service for final review. The Arizona State Land Department should receive
Arizona State Fire Assistance Wildland Urban Interface Grants
notification of approved projects in the month of December, 2003.
Why do we have State Fire Assistance WUI grants?
An important element of the National Fire Plan is the coordination of federal, state, tribal, and local
fire organizations to prevent, prepare for, and manage wildland fire across the landscape.
The State Fire Assistance program provides financial and technical support directly to the state
forest fire protection organizations to enhance the firefighting capacity of state, local, and rural
organizations. The Program also slipports community based hazard mitigation and an expanded
national public service fire prevention program. State and local matching funds leverage the
federal investment for cost-effective results.
What does the State Fire Assistance Program do?
Hazardous Fuel Reduction - Supports state-led hazard mitigation activities in the wildland urban
interface, focused on reducing property loss, decreasing fuels hazards, and increasing public
awareness and citizen-driven solutions in rural communities.
Information and Education in the Wildland Urban Interface - Delivers a nationwide fire
prevention program through public service advertising, educational activities, product licensing,
and corporate partnerships. The Smokey Bear program is part of this component, and FlREWlSE
is another prevention component. FlREWlSE is a program that promotes wildland fire safety in the
interface and fosters community-based responsibility through adult education, community action
planning, fuels treatments, and landscaping. FlREWlSE workshops for community and business
leaders will be conducted over a three-year period. Participants will work to establish local
FlREWlSE standards to ensure a safer place for people to live.
What is the background of the WUI grants?
The Arizona State Land Department, Fire Management Division has identified 122 communities
throughout the state that are most vulnerable to wildland urban interface fires. Communities were
selected using objective criteria to analyze the hazards, values and risks. A programmatic strategy
has been instituted that recoanizes the im~ortanceo f communities develo~ina~ artnershi~wsit h
Page 2 of 4
. u ,
federal and state agencies, 16cal and tribai governments, and private citizens to address the threat
from catastrophic wildland fire. The goal is to build the capacity in and around communities to
assess risk, protect lives and property and restore forests to a healthy, sustainable condition.
In the summer of 2001, the Fire Management Division solicited request for proposals (RFP) from
Arizona communities to conduct projects in the wildland/urban interface that would reduce
hazardous fuels and increase public safety. This RFP followed guidelines set by the seventeen
Western State Foresters and Fire Management Officers and anticipated grant funding provided by
the Interior and Related Agencies Appropriation Act (PL 107-63) for Federal Fiscal Year 2002.
These projects were selected through a competitive process conducted by the Fire Management
Division and a committee of western states fire management officers and advisors. Twenty-one
Arizona communities were funded for high priority fuel treatments, FIREWISE and other prevention
and education projects, and community hazard assessment and mitigation projects.
How do the grants work?
Federal funds flow through the Fire Management Division to communities using a sub-grant
process. Sub-grantees will develop project work plans, financial budgets and landowner
agreements as appropriate. In-kind match will be included in the project work plans and financial
budgets. Recipients will be required to provide adequate documentation. The rate of match will be
50% federal and 50% non-federal. Quarterly and close out reports will be submitted as
appropriate.
The Fire Management Division will assist communities to develop standards and prescriptions to
implement the projects. The Division will monitor project accomplishments and reimburse
communities as work is certified as being completed. Experience from FYOl WUI grants shows
sub-grantees will need more than one year to complete the grant. The Fire Management Division
usually requests an initial grant time period of approximately 1 % years, to allow sub-grantees time
to develop program, consult with cooperating agencies, encourage landowner, train thinning
contractors and fully implement the grant. The Fire Management Division may request additional
grant extensions provided sub-grantees and communities are demonstrating significant progress,
commensurate with grant objectives and allotted time.

Arizona Rural Fire Assistance - Department of lnterior
Department of the Interior's (DOI) Rural Fire Assistance Program
ides funding to rural fire departments to provide critical wildland fire
nagement training, to purchase protective fire clothing and
pment, and to improve communication capabilities. These
partments provide wildfire and emergency protection service to
mmunities with populations under 10,000, who are located near
partment of the lnterior land management areas. These rural
efighting resources are often the first line of defense in providing
protection and attack on wildland urban interface fires.
The Department of lnterior received $10 million to support the rural fire assistance program in
2002. Awards are limited to a maximum of $20,000 per rural/volunteer department; each
department must provide a matching cost share of a minimum lo%, which may include in-kind
services. Examples of in-kind services that rural/volunteer fire departments (RFDs) provide:
Facility/logistical costs for hosting fire training courses,
The cost of travel and per diem for their personnel to attend fire training courses,
The administration costs for purchasing equipment for the RFA program, etc,
In-kind services such as labor and materials that must match or exceed the 10 percent cost
share ratio.
This funding will enhance the fire protection capabilities of rural fire departments through training,
equipment purchase and prevention work on a cost-shared basis.
This program is administered in cooperation with federal, state, local and tribal governments. In
Arizona the State administer the RFA program for the Bureau of Land Management and Fish &
Wildlife Service. To avoid duplication in funding for both Volunteer Fire Assistance and Rural Fire
Assistance, the Arizona State Land Department - Fire Management Division is working
cooperatively with the Department of lnterior agencies by sharing applications and coordinating
selections.
What is the difference between WFA and Volunteer Fire Assistance
(VFA)?
The RFA program began in 2001. It is administered by the Department of the Interior in a
cooperation with other state and local wildland fire partners. The VFA program is an established #
grant program sponsored by the U.S. Forest Service and administered by the state foresters
through the state and private forestry system. (I)
a
Which fire departments can apply? rl)
The DO1 assistance program targets those rural and volunteer fire departments that routinely help a
fight fire on or near DO1 lands. Those lands are administered by one of these four agencies:
Bureau of Land Management (BLNI), Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
C
(FWS) and the National Park Service (NPS). a

e
Arizona Rural Fire Assistance - Department of Interior Page 2 of:
Wural/voOunteer fire departments are discouraged from applying for RFA with more than one
agency. DOl's goal is to assist as many eligible rurallvolunteer fire departments as possible. DO1
agencies are required to coordinate with other federal and state agencies on the allocation of funds
to rurallvolunteer fire departments.
Are you eligible to apply for this funding?
Answer the following questions to determine eligibility:
1. Do you have an agreement with the state forester who maintains cooperative fire
agreements with rural volunteer fire departments, or a cooperative fire agreement with a
DO! agency?
2. Does your rural volunteer fire department serve a community with a population of 10,000 or
less, which is adjacent or near federal land administered by the Department of the Interior?
3. Is your funding request for training, equipment, and prevention activities related to wildland
fire?
4. Will your department be able to meet the 10 percent cost share? Cost share may include in-kind
services such as labor and materials.
How are applications selected?
Once your application is submitted, the following criteria will be used to evaluate it against other
fire department applications. The DO1 agency and partners will:
c Determine how many times each department responds to wildland/urban fire incidents in
the local area.
c Evaluate the department's wildland fire prevention and education program needs.
Evaluate the department's training program needs relative to the other applicants.
Evaluate the communities and DOl's values to be protected relative to other applicants.
Evaluate the percentage of wildland/urban lands relative to the other applicants.
c Determine the number of wildland fire engines in the department relative to the percentage
of wildlandlurban interface acres protected.
Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and National Park Service (NPS) awards are distributed to rural and
volunteer fire departments directly. Bureau of Land Management and Fish & Wildlife Service funds
are provided through the State Forester.
If you think your department may be eligible for the DO1 Rural Fire Assistance program, please
contact your local State Fire Management Officer or local BIA or NPS office for specific
information. While this is a national assistance program, regional, state or local DO1 offices and
their partners administer it (see contact list below). Your local DO1 agency understands your
department's wildland fire needs because they too, are part of your community. Their role is to help
you walk through the assistance application.

open in December 2003)
What is Volunteer Fire Assistance?
e fire season of 2002 again demonstrated the vulnerability of the
ldland Urban lnterface to wildfire in Northeastern Arizona. In 2001
development of the National Fire Plan created a funding process
ich provided grant monies to help reduce the vulnerability of
ldland Urban Interface areas and help fire departments prepare
fire protection in these areas. Congress continued to provide
h funding levels for many fire management activities, including
Volunteer Fire Assistance (VFA) Grant Program and
Department of Interior Rural Fire Assistance (RFA) Grant P;ogram. severalhundred thousand
dollars are available in VFA and RFA to qualified applicants in Arizona this year. Distribution of
these grant monies will be on a competitive basis, with the Arizona Interagency Coordination
Group. The Arizona lnteragency Coordination Group consists of individuals from the Federal
Agencies engaged in wildland fire management, the State Land Department and other Fire Service
Professionals.
The Arizona State Land Department, Fire Management Division, with assistance from the USDA,
Forest Service, administers the Volunteer Fire Assistance Grant Program. This Program is
authorized by the Cooperative Forestry Assistance Act of 1990, (Farm Bill) and provides financial
assistance to train, organize, and equip fire departments in rural areas and rural communities to
prevent and suppress fires. A rural community is defined as having 10,000 or less population.
What is the focus of the Volunteer Fire Assistance program?
These grant programs focus on four primary fire management activities: training, equipping,
organizing rural fire departments, and fire prevention. These categories are further described
in documents accessable through the links below. Fire departments and other qualified applicants
that meet the criteria identified on this web site are invited to submit project proposals to the Fire
Management Division.

The Economic Assistance Program works directly with communities
to identify and develop public and private technical support, expand
economic opportunities and support rural communities to build
skills, networks and strategies to address social, environmental and
economic changes. Economic Action Programs serve as a catalyst,
rather than the primary source of funds to assist with economic
transition, responding to communities needs.
What are the goals of the Economic Action
Program (EAP)?
The program is looking for proposals that develop an economic use for small diameter and under
utilized tree species derived from forest restoration, urban-wildland interface, fuel reduction and
pilot projects within Arizona and New Mexico. Grant funds are to encourage grass roots ideas and
solutions best suited to local communities for reducing wildfire risk. They are also to help restore
forest resiliency, protect watersheds, and to protect the environment. The goals of EAP are:
To encourage local enterprises to expand and develop ways to utilize materials removed
during hazardous fuels management activities and in so doing help reduce the risk to
communities from catastrophic wildfires.
To provide incentives and economic opportunities for rural communities to expand markets
for small diameter products utilizing the local workforce.
To develop innovative pilot projects that demonstrates the use of small diameter and
underutilized materials (Examples include, but are not limited to: bio-energy applications,
ethanol production, compost, landscape mulch, round timber construction applications,
etc.).
What types of activities are eligible for funding?
Funding may be for such things as technical assistance, training and education, equipment,
marketing, and all costs associated with making these services available to tribal nations, State
and Federal agencies, State Foresters, local governments, not-for-profit organizations, and others
who are extending services to rural communities. Land purchase is not a valid expenditure.
Who can apply for EAP grants?
State, local, and tribal governments, communities, non-profit organizations and small or
disadvantaged businesses can apply.
Cost Sharing (Matching Requirement):
(I) Applicants must demonstrate a 20% cost share from non-federal sources, which can include in-kind
contributions. In-kind, or non-cash contributions, must be reasonable, allowable, and the
recipient must be able to demonstrate in the application (as well as a possible audit) that all costs

Forestland Enhancement Program (FLEP)
Providing educational, technical, and financial assistance to help private forest landowners
implement their sustainable forestry management objectives.
What is the purpose of Forestland Enhancement Program?
The 2002 Farm Bill has authorized the Forest Service, in cooperation
with State Foresters, to launch a multimillion-dollar forestry program to
assist nonindustrial private forest (NIPF) landowners in what will be
known as the Forest Land Enhancement Program (FLEP). Authorized
for $100 million for program years 2002-2007, the program has
scheduled $20 million in its inaugural year (FY2003) to be distributed
through state forestry agencies.
Through FLEP, state forestry agencies can provide a wide array of educational, technical and
financial services that are intended to ensure that the nation's NIPF and related resources continue
to provide sustainable forest products and safeguard the health of our water, air, and wildlife. FLEP
is a voluntary program in each state and participation by landowners is voluntary. In each state
participating in the program, the State Forester and State Forest Stewardship Coordinating
Committee will jointly develop a State Priority Plan that is intended to promote forest management
objectives and describe FLEP in their State.
The State Priority Plan will determine the mix of educational, technical and financial assistance
with states choosing one or more of these components. As applicable, it will identify educational
activities and their outcome, describe the technical assistance to be provided and its outcomes,
and describe the cost-share components that will be available to NIPF landowners and the public
values of these practices.
The FLEP program replaces two previous conservation incentive programs: the Stewardship
Incentive Program (SIP) and the Forestry Incentives Program (FIP). State forestry agencies can
use FLEP funds to provide assistance to NIPF owners to achieve a broad array of natural resource
objectives. The Forest Service and State forestry agencies are guided by the following principles:
Establish, manage, maintain, protect, enhance, and restore NIPF lands.
r Enhance the productivity of timber, habitat for flora and fauna, soil, water, air quality,
wetlands, and riparian buffers of these lands.
r Assist owners and managers to more actively manage NIPF lands to enhance and sustain
the long-term productivity of timber and non-timber forest resources.
Reduce the risk and help restore, recover and mitigate the damage to forests caused by
fire, insects, invasive species, disease, and damaging weather.
Increase and enhance carbon sequestration opportunities.
e Enhance implementation of agroforestry practices.
0 Encourage and leverage State, Federal, and local resource management expertise,
financial assistance and educational programs that support FLEP.
0 What will the program pay for?
a State Forestry Agencies in coordination with their State Forest Stewardship Coordinating
Committees will develop a State Priority Plan for FLEP. This Plan will provide the details for how e the FLEP funds will be utilized, including minimum acres, maximum acres, aggregate payment,

Landowners will have to have a Forest Management Plan to be eligible for cost-share. The a
practices to be cost-shared and the cost-share rate will be described in the State Priority Plan. .()
Who is eligible to apply? @
FLEP is available for all NlPF land owners. The cost-share practices are limited to the treatment of
1,000 acres per year with an aggregate payment not to exceed $100,000 for the life of this Farm
Bill. A waiver for the treatment of up to 5,000 acres is available if significant public benefit is
shown. The waiver is granted through the State Forester and approved by the Regional Forester.
There is no limit to the amount of forest land owned by an individual as long as the person qualifies
as a NlPF owner.
NlPF owners who wish to participate in the cost-share component of FLEP in those states offering
it as an option, must complete one or more of the sustainable forestry practices available in their
state as described in a forest management plan. In each state, the State Forester 0s their
representative will evaluate the management plans submitted by NlPF owners and approve them
for participation in FLEP.
Eligibility criteria for FLEP are broader than for SIP and FIP to encourage greater participation.
FLEP allows treatment of up to 1,000 acres per year and variances of up to 5,000 acres if
d
significant public benefits will accrue. The maximum FLEP cost-share payment for any practice i0
may be up to 75 percent. The aggregate payment to any one landowner through 2007 may not a
exceed $100,000. States will be responsible for reporting program accomplishments for all the a program components - educational, technical, financial, - that the State is implementing. States will
also account for administrative dollars used to implement FLEP. a
Program implementation will commence after the publication of an interim rule in the Federal a
Register, anticipated in early 2003. There will be a formal 60-day comment period for the Interim * Rule. A final rule is anticipated for February 2004. FY 2002 appropriations in SIP and FIP are in the I)
process of being obligated by the Forest Service and the Natural Resources Conservation Service. *

Arizona Federal Excess Personal Property (FEPP)
The Federal Excess Personal Property Program was enacted by
Congress under the Federal Property and Administrative Services
act of 1949 and the Cooperative Forestry Assistance Act of 1978.
The Act directs the Secretary of Agriculture to encourage the use of
FEPP to assist in reducing state fire budgets by loaning federally-owned
property to state foresters and their cooperators. Under the
Federal Excess Personal Property (FEPP) program, Federal
property, originally purchased for use by a Federal agency, but
no lonaer needed by that entity, is acquired by the USDA Forest Service for loan to one of
the 50States or the~erritoriesforu sein the state's rural or wildland fire protection
program. As a result, the equipment stays in service to America, protecting lives and
property across the nation. The "personal" part of the FEPP program simply refers to any
tangible property that is not real estate. This can include trucks, aircraft, personal
protective equipment, motor oil, nuts, bolts, fire hose, et cetera, but not buildings.
To qualify for this program, a fire department must meet a number of requirements (see
responsibilities below), one being a responsibility for providing fire protection on wildlands within
the department's jurisdiction. The U.S. Forest Service monitors the use of loaned property to
ensure that all FEPP acquired is used 90 percent for fire protection support and only 10 percent for
other support.
In Arizona the FEPP Program enables the Arizona State Land Department Fire Management
Division to acquire, "on loan" from the federal government, property that assists the Department in
fulfilling its emergency response mission. That property includes such items as trucks, fire tools,
hoses, vehicle parts, nozzles, generators, air compressors, fire protection clothing, aircraft, and
aircraft parts.
The State Forester makes the initial decision that an FEPP item is appropriate for use, and the
USDA Forest Service must concur. The property is then loaned to the State Forester, who may
then place it with local departments to improve local fire programs. Approximately 70% of the
property involved in the Forest Service FEPP program is sub-loaned to local fire department.
If you have any questions, PLEASE contact the Division representing your county.

What is the Four Corners Sustainable Forests Partnership?
I) I Site Map 1
e
ur Corners Sustainable Forests Partnership (FCSFP) builds
s between healthy forest ecosystems and healthy
nities. The Partnership has requested funding from
ongress through 2003 to support identified programs whose goals
listed below. Real effort is being made to accomplish a great
I within a short time frame. The Partnership hopes that programs
create a lasting momentum within several key areas: consensus
around forest restoration principles and needs, community
infrastructure to utilize small diameter material, and a region-wide
network of interests and specialists working on sustainable forestry
issues.
Why do we need the Four Corners Sustainable Forests
Partnership?
The Partnership began in 1997 with the leadership of New Mexico State Forester, Toby Martinez,
and other Western State Foresters. They saw throughout the Four Corners region increasing risks
for catastrophic fire and insect outbreaks in forest ecosystems as well as a declining capacity in
communities to deal with forest restoration and maintenance needs. These conditions exist across
social and jurisdictional boundaries in the Four Corners States of New Mexico, Colorado, Utah,
and Arizona.
The Partnership is motivated by the need to focus attention and resources on forest restoration
and community issues common throughout the region. The original coalition of diverse interests
had expanded to over 50 businesses, organizations, and agencies by 1998. They began to identify
clear goals and seek Congressional funding to support the mission. Congress provided seed
funding in 1999 through the US Forest Service's State and Private Forestry Economic Action
Programs.
The steering committee contains 20 seats with equal representation from the states, tribes, and
the U.S. Forest Service. Representatives are self selected based on active involvement in the
Partnership. All Four Corners residents are encouraged to utilize FCSFP information and to
collaborate with FCSFP Partners in pursuit of the FCSFP mission.
What are the goals of the Partnership?
a Merge environmental and economic concerns by helping identify relationships between
ecosystem needs, jobs in the forest, and manufacturing value-added products.
Strengthen and diversify rural economies by supporting community led projects that achieve
forest restoration and create high-value manufacturing opportunities with the by-products.
Increase regional expertise on small-diameter wood utilization, marketing, and innovative
forest restoration strategies by connecting local entrepreneurs and other interests to
technical assistance specialists, demonstration projects, and workshops.
e Reduce the loss of natural resources as well as improve wildlife habitat by encouraging the
restoration of forest ecosvstems at-risk for catastroohic fire. insects. and disease.

Development of the nation's forested areas poses an increasing threat to maintaining the integrity
of our country's valuable forest lands. Intact forest lands supply timber products, wildlife habitat,
soil and watershed protection, aesthetics, and recreational opportunities. However, as these areas
are fragmented and disappear, so do the benefits they provide. While local governments
commonly guide development away from the most sensitive areas through traditional land use
controls (like zoning and performance standards), sometimes these measures are not sufficient to
fully protect the forested component of our natural resource base.
The Forest Legacy Program (FLP), a federal program in partnership with states, supports state
efforts to protect environmentally sensitive forest lands. Designed to encourage the protection of
privately owned forest lands, FLP is an entirely voluntary program. To maximize the public benefits
it achieves, the program focuses on the acquisition of partial interests in privately owned forest
lands. FLP helps the states develop and carry out their forest conservation plans. It encourages
and supports acquisition of conservation easements, legally binding agreements transferring a
negotiated set of property rights from one party to another, without removing the property from
private ownership. Most FLP conservation easements restrict development, require sustainable
forestry practices, and protect other values.
Program Activities: Where does the money go?
Forest Legacy complements private, federal and state programs focusing on conservation in two
ways. First, FLP directly supports property acquisition. Additionally, FLP supports efforts to acquire
donated conservation easements. FLP funded acquisitions serve public purposes identified by
participating states and agreed to by the landowner.
Eligibility: Who benefits, and how much?
Participation in Forest Legacy is limited to private forest landowners. To qualify, landowners are
required to prepare a multiple resource management plan as part of the conservation easement
acquisition. The federal government may fund up to 75% of program costs, with at least 25%
coming from private, state or local sources. In addition to gains associated with the sale or
