These scenarios will be evaluated at the Fire Planning Unit (FPU) and national level to develop effective program options. A functional prototype was completed in 2008; full implementation is currently on-going.The FPA Phase 2 (FPA-2) project focuses on implementing an analysis tool to support strategic planning and budgeting for a comprehensive, interagency fire management program at the national level. FPA provides land managers with the ability to analyze and determine the cost-optimized wildland fire management program and its effects on multiple program objectives at any budget level. The investment project, Fire Program Analysis - Phase 2 (FPA-2), is an interagency project of the five federal wildland fire management agencies: * US Forest Service (USFS) * Department of Interior (DOI) Bureau of Land Management (BLM) * DOI National Park Service (NPS) * DOI U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) *DOI Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). These fire management agencies are also the primary beneficiaries of this investment. FPA-2 has involved the National Association of State Foresters as well as state and local fire organizations. The FPA-2 project will close important performance gaps for the interagency wildland fire management agencies, including gaps identified in: Federal Wildland Fire Policy, National Fire Plan, The congressional report titled "Developing an Interagency, Landscape Scale Fire Planning Analysis and Budget Tool", November 2001 (Hubbard Report), as well as discussions with and direction from OMB and the Congressional Appropriations Committee. FPA is chartered by the US Forest Service and DOI.This investment has transactional relationships with other wildland fire investments. More..
