ACRES Act

Sponsored By: Representative Tiffany, Thomas P. [R-WI-7]

Passed House

Summary

Standardized, verifiable tracking of hazardous fuels reduction acres would require USDA and the Department of the Interior to count and publicly report how many acres of federal land received vegetation treatments and whether those treatments reduced wildfire risk. The bill would also require standardized data procedures and a Government Accountability Office study on how the rules are implemented.

Show full summary
  • Federal land managers: Must include an annual count of treated acres in the materials that support the President's budget, count each acre only once, and implement standardized tracking procedures within 90 days of enactment.
  • Communities near the wildland-urban interface: Reports must identify which treated acres are inside the wildland-urban interface and show wildfire risk levels at the start and end of the reporting period.
  • Congress and the public: The reports must be posted on USDA and Interior websites and the Comptroller General must deliver a GAO study on implementation within 2 years of enactment.
