Cost Share Agreement. The purpose of this Agreement is to provide for a coordinated cooperative fire suppression operation on this fire and to describe the cost divisions. This Agreement is a supplement to the Master Cooperative Wildland Fire Management and Xxxxxxxx Act Response Agreement executed between the Agencies listed, on (date).
Cost Share Agreement. An interagency agreement describing the conditions and/or percentage of Department and Forest Service financial responsibility for costs incurred as a result of jointly approved operations pursuant to the terms of this agreement. DETECTION: The act or system of discovering and locating a fire. DIRECT PROTECTION AREA (DPA): That area which, by law or pursuant to the terms of this agreement, is provided wildland fire protection by the Department or by the Forest Service. DPAs may include a mixture of Department and Forest Service responsibility areas. DIRECT PROTECTION AREA MAPS: Official maps which identify areas of direct wildland fire protection for each Party. FEDERAL EXCESS PERSONAL PROPERTY (FEPP) PROGRAM: A program in which Federal property originally purchased for use by a Federal agency, but no longer needed by that entity, is acquired by the USDA Forest Service for loan to one of the 50 States or the Territories for use in 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 term “personal” simply refers to any tangible property that is not real estate. This can include trucks, aircraft, personal protective equipment, fire hose, et cetera, but not buildings.
Cost Share Agreement. Whenever multiple jurisdictions are affected due to the location of a fire, it is mandatory to develop and implement a Cost Share Agreement (or Apportionment Process, if applicable). The Operating Plan must address how the Parties to this Agreement will handle cost sharing for wildland fires that spread to another jurisdiction. Acceptable forms of the cost share mix are limited to those listed in item #10 of Exhibit F, Cost Share Agreement. Except as otherwise provided by Clause 27, Independent Action)and 43, Billing Procedures, a cost share agreement will be approved by the responsible Unit Administrators (as defined in Exhibit A, Glossary of Terms) or their authorized representatives when the incident involves lands of more than one Protecting Agency (see Clause 26, Boundary Line Fires and Exhibit F, Cost Share Agreement). A Cost Share Agreement that addresses temporary support functions or facilities may be developed to document cost sharing, especially at times of high fire danger or activity.

The Operating Plan must address how the Parties to this Agreement will handle cost sharing for wildland fires that spread to another jurisdiction.

A cost share agreement will be approved by the responsible Unit Administrators (as defined in Exhibit A, Glossary of Terms) or their authorized representatives when the incident involves lands of more than one Jurisdictional Agency. A Cost Share Agreement that addresses temporary support functions or facilities may be developed to document cost sharing, especially at times of high fire danger or activity.
Cost Share Agreement. Whenever multiple jurisdictions are affected due to the location of a fire, it is mandatory to develop and implement a Cost Share Agreement (or Apportionment Process, if applicable). The Operating Plan must address how the Parties to this Agreement will handle cost-sharing for wildland fires that spread to another jurisdiction. Acceptable forms of the cost share mix are limited to those listed in item #10 of Exhibit F, Cost Share Agreement. Except as otherwise provided by Clauses 27 (Independent Action), and 43 (Billing Procedures), a cost share agreement will be approved by the responsible Unit Administrators (as defined in Exhibit A, Glossary of Terms) or their authorized representatives when the incident involves lands of more than one protecting Agency (see Clause 26, Boundary Line Fires, and Exhibit F, Cost Share Agreement). A Cost Share Agreement that addresses temporary support functions or facilities may be developed to document cost sharing, especially at times of high fire danger or activity.
Cost Share Agreement. A cost share agreement will be prepared by the responsible unit administrators (as defined in EXHIBIT A, Glossary) or their authorized representatives when there is (1) a multi-jurisdictional incident or, (2) an incident which threatens or xxxxx across direct protection boundaries of Counties, State, or Federal Agencies. See EXHIBIT E for a sample cost share agreement. Guidance for cost share determinations can be found in the Interagency Incident Business Management Handbook. A general approach to cost sharing on local incidents will be outlined in appropriate Annual Operating Plans but can be superseded by an incident specific cost share agreement. The Agencies and Counties agree that all reasonable and necessary costs incurred to meet the protection responsibilities within each Agency's or County's Direct Protection Area will be the responsibility of that Agency or County. Typically, suppression actions and their associated costs are driven by perceived threat to values at risk. Values at risk may, in turn, require more intense suppression efforts and, therefore, higher suppression costs in one Agency's or County's direct protection area than in another. These situations will be considered when determining each Agency's and County's share of the costs for an incident. For temporary support level functions or facilities established during periods of extraordinary fire danger or activity, similar cost sharing procedures may be used by the involved Agencies or Counties.
Cost Share Agreement. An interagency agreement describing the conditions and/or percentage of State, Federal and possibly Local Agency financial responsibility for costs incurred as a result of jointly approved operations pursuant to the terms of this agreement. See Exhibit F, Cost Share Agreement. Cost Share Settlement: Process in which agencies involved in a Cost-Shared Incident or activity bring their respective sharable costs for an incident or activity to a meeting in which those costs are validated and then redistributed according to the Cost Share Agreement.
Cost Share Agreement. Whenever multiple jurisdictional agencies or protection agencies are affected due to the location of a fire the development and implementation of a written Cost Share Agreement is required using one of the approved cost share methodologies available in Exhibit E, Cost Share Agreement Instructions. A cost share agreement will be approved by the responsible Unit Administrators as defined by agency policy or their authorized representatives.
Cost Share Agreement. Parties to this Agreement agree to cooperate in defining procedures and criteria for direction, authority, and financial management guidelines for Cost Share Agreement. The defined procedure will be documented in appropriate level Annual Operating Plans.
