Independent Action on Lands Protected by Another AgencyResponse to Wildfires: Discuss any special land management considerations that affect independent action initial attack. Describe areas, if any, Special Management Considerations: Identify areas where there are exceptions resource and other management concerns i.e. special management considerations, appropriate fire management actions, any restrictions in firefighting tactical techniques, etc. (Note: This information could be incorporated by reference to this clause a fire management plan.) Jurisdictional Agencies, which may include state and state reasonsprivate lands, should identify the conditions under which wildfire may be managed to achieve benefit, and the information or criteria that will be used to make that determination (e.g. critical habitat, hazardous fuels and land management planning documents). Response . (Note: This information could be incorporated by reference to Wildland Firea fire management plan.) Identify how suppression costs related to special management considerations will be allocated. Decision Process: Identify the process by which the parties will develop and document decisions regarding suppression strategies and tactical actions that are cost efficient and consider loss and benefit to land, values‐at‐risk, resource, social and political values, and existing legal statutes. Cooperation: Identify how to involve all parties in developing the strategy and tactics to be used in preventing unwanted wildfire from crossing the jurisdictional boundary, and how all parties will be involved in developing mitigations which would be used if a wildfire does cross jurisdictional boundaries. Communication: Describe the level of communication required with neighboring jurisdictions regarding the management of all wildfires, especially those with objectives that include benefit. Describe the level of communication required with neighboring jurisdictions regarding suppression resource availability and allocation, especially for wildfires with objectives that include benefit. Cost efficiency: Jurisdictions will identify conditions under which cost efficiency may dictate where suppression strategies and tactical actions are taken (i.e. it may be more cost effective to put the containment line along open grassland than along a mid‐slope in timber). Points to consider include loss and benefit to land, values at risk, resource, social and political values, and existing legal statutes. Delegation of Authority: Describe procedures and criteria to specify direction, authority and financial management guidelines that local Unit Administrators will use to inform Incident Commanders.

USE AND REIMBURSEMENT OF INTERAGENCY FIRE RESOURCES Cost Share Agreement (Cost Share Methodologies) Describe how costs will be shared when a fire spreads into another jurisdiction. The type of cost share methodology utilized will vary according to a great variety of environmental, resource, tactical, political, and other considerations. The following factors should be discussed in order to clarify how such factors will influence the ultimate selection of a cost share methodology for any given wildfire. The cost‐sharing methodologies that will be utilized should wildfire spread to a neighboring jurisdiction in a location where fire is not wanted. The cost‐share methodologies that will be used should a jurisdiction accept or receive a wildfire and manage it to create benefit. Any distinctions in what cost‐share methodology will be used if the reason the fire spreads to another jurisdiction is attributed to a strategic decision, versus environmental conditions (weather, fuels, and fire behavior) or tactical considerations (firefighter safety, resource availability) that preclude stopping the fire at jurisdictional boundaries. Examples of cost‐sharing methodologies may include, but are not limited to, the following: o When a wildfire that is being managed for benefit spreads to a neighboring jurisdiction because of strategic decisions, and in a location where fire is not wanted, the managing jurisdiction shall be responsible for wildfire suppression costs. o In those situations where weather, fuels or fire behavior of the wildfire precludes stopping at jurisdiction boundaries cost‐share methodologies may include, but are not limited to:
