Fire Suppression and Response Funding Assurance Act

This bill sets the federal cost share of fire management assistance at 75% of the eligible cost of such assistance and provides for a state or local government to use such assistance for the predeployment of assets and resources.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) must complete a rulemaking to provide criteria for the circumstances under which it may recommend that the President increase the federal cost share.
