This bill, the Accurately Counting Risk Elimination Solutions Act (ACRES Act), requires the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the Interior to submit accurate reports on hazardous fuels reduction activities conducted on federal lands. The bill mandates that the reports include details such as the number of acres where hazardous fuels reduction activities were completed, the level of wildfire risk, the types of activities, the cost per acre, and the effectiveness of the activities in reducing wildfire risk. The bill also requires the Secretaries to implement standardized procedures for tracking data related to these activities and to submit a report to Congress on the procedures and any limitations in tracking the data. Additionally, the bill directs the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to conduct a study on the implementation of the Act, including any limitations in reporting and tracking the data.
