a. Alaska Statewide Annual Operating Plan The Alaska Statewide AOP will address issues affecting statewide cooperation and fiscal obligations. For the 2010 fire season, the DNR Commissioner and the Alaska directors of the Federal Agencies are the signatories on behalf of their agency and administrative units. The AFS Manager, DNR Chief of Fire and Aviation, the BIA Regional Fire Management Officer, the FWS Regional Fire Management Coordinator, the NPS Regional Fire Management Officer and the USFS Regional Fire Director will also be signatories.

b. Zone/Area/Forest/local Jurisdictional Units Annual Operating Plans Agency administrators for the Jurisdictional and Protecting Agencies will approve the initial AOPs developed by the local fire management staff. For example, an AOP developed by the Jurisdictional Agency administrative unit Fire Management Officer(FMO) and the Protecting Agency FMO would be reviewed and approved by the Jurisdictional Agency administrator(s), the AFS Manager, the DNR Chief of Fire and Aviation, and, when USFS lands are affected, the appropriate level USFS agency administrator i.e. Kenai Peninsula and Southeast Alaska. UFMP may be incorporated by reference into the Zone/Area/Forest AOPs. Terms and conditions in Area/Zone/Forest AOPs may not conflict with the Alaska Statewide AOP.
ANNUAL OPERATING PLANS. Annual operating plans will be developed at the Geographic, State, or sub‐geographic area level and will tier to this Agreement (see Exhibit B, CFMA Operating Plan Template). The following annual operating plans are listed in descending order of precedence:

C. Local/Sub Geographic Annual Operating Plans Unit Administrators are responsible for determining reciprocal assistance and acquisition of wildland fire protection services. Local/Sub Geographic Annual Operating Plans will be developed to document these decisions and outline the details of this Agreement for the local and/or sub geographic areas.
